Steps:
- To make sauce: stir 1 1/4 cups sugar and water in heavy large saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Mix in corn syrup and lemon juice. Increase heat and boil without stirring until syrup turns deep amber, brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan occasionally. Remove from heat; pour in 1 1/4 cups cream (mixture will bubble up), stir over low heat until caramel is melted and smooth. Increase heat and boil until sauce is reduced to 1 2/3 cups, stirring often, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat; mix in pecans and bourbon.
- To make pudding: preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Combine milk, 2 cups cream, and 1 cup sugar in heavy large saucepan over medium high heat, stir until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to boil. Remove from heat, add chocolate, and stir until smooth.
- Beat eggs and vanilla in large bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in chocolate mixture; add bread cubes and let stand until bread absorbs some of the custard, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Transfer mixture to a 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Cover with foil.
- Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until set in center, about 45 minutes. Serve pudding warm or at room temperature with warm sauce.

CHOCOLATE CROISSANT BREAD PUDDING
Okay, if you don't make a single other dessert from this book, make this bread pudding. It is DECADENT and FABULOUS. I made it one day and put it on my Instagram story and I don't think I've ever gotten so many DMs asking for a recipe (but I waited until now to share it!). This is my nod to Meryl Streep making chocolate croissants for Steve Martin in It's Complicated, the inspiration for this entire book.

BOURBON CROISSANT BREAD PUDDING WITH BOURBON SAUCE
Serve this to your guests for a weekend or Christmas brunch, you will get rave reviews, make certain that you print out this recipe, as everyone will be asking for it lol! If you are serving more than 6 people prepare two separate recipes and bake in two 13 x 9-inch pans. Make certain the your croissants are large size and at least one day old. Jack Daniel's bourbon whiskey is good to use for this recipe. Plan ahead this needs to chill for 1 hour before baking. I prefer to bake this in a water bath although it is not really needed to do so, but the bread pudding with have a fluffier softer texture if baked in a water bath, if you are making this to serve to company I would strongly suggest baking in a water bath, the choice is up to you!

CHOCOLATE CROISSANT BREAD PUDDING
I love bread pudding and I love chocolate croissants. Why not combine them? My daughters love chocolate, so this was a winner in my house. It's like a combination of a soft-brownie-cakey-chocolate-chip-cookie with a bit of a creamy texture inside. It tastes good warm, as all melted chocolate desserts do, but even better cooled. My daughters couldn't wait to eat, so good luck holding out for it to cool.
