Ingredients
Hot dog buns
4 (cut into 1-inch pieces)
Eggs
4 (lightly beaten)
Sweetened condensed milk
1 (14-ounce can)
Milk
3/4 (cup plus 2 tablespoons for drizzle)
Vanilla extract
1 (teaspoon)
Ground nutmeg
1/4 (teaspoon)
Mini marshmallows
1 (cup, divided)
Semisweet chocolate pieces
3/4 (cup, divided)
Graham cracker squares
5 (coarsely crushed (about 1/2 cup))
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 2-quart square baking dish and set aside.
2
Spread the hot dog bun pieces evenly on a shallow baking sheet and toast them in the preheated oven for 7 to 8 minutes, or until they are dry and crisp. Once toasted, remove and let cool.
3
In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk, 3/4 cup of milk, vanilla extract, and ground nutmeg until well combined. Set this mixture aside.
4
Place the toasted bun pieces in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle half of the mini marshmallows and half of the semisweet chocolate pieces evenly over the top.
5
Pour the milk mixture over the bun pieces, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
6
Generously sprinkle the crushed graham cracker squares over the top of the pudding mixture.
7
Bake the bread pudding uncovered in the oven for 35 minutes. After this time, add the remaining 1/4 cup of marshmallows on top and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
8
For the drizzle, combine the remaining marshmallows, chocolate pieces, and 2 tablespoons of milk in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat, whisking continuously until melted and smooth.
9
Once the bread pudding is done, drizzle the melted chocolate and marshmallow mixture on top. Allow the pudding to cool for about 20 to 30 minutes before serving.
