Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- 2. Put chocolate croissant chunks in an 8x8-inch baking dish. In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and eggs. Pour mixture over croissants. Let sit for at least 10 minutes.
- 3. Bake for 40 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
- 4. Into the trifle bowl, add half of the croissant pudding. Spread it out evenly. Scoop in half of the butterscotch pudding, add a layer of banana slices and half of the chopped Snickers bars. Smooth on half of the whipped topping. Repeat the layers, ending on whipped cream, top with a final sprinkling of Snickers. (Don't add this last topping until just before serving.)
- 5. Note: I can't find the chocolate croissants here in my little town, so I use regular, plain croissants and add about a cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. One time I melted 2 squares of semi-sweet chocolate and mixed it in with the egg mixture before pouring over the croissants. Both work well.
Tips:
- If you don't have day-old croissants, you can use fresh croissants and let them dry out for a few hours before using.
- You can use any type of chocolate you like for the filling. Use a chocolate that melts well for the ganache.
- Be sure to let the bread pudding cool completely before serving. This will help it to set and hold its shape.
- To make a gluten-free version of this recipe, use gluten-free croissants and gluten-free flour.
- To make a vegan version of this recipe, use vegan croissants and vegan chocolate.
