Michael Symon: The Chew Chocolate Hot Dog Bun Bread Pudding Recipe Directions

1. Preheat oven to broil.
2. Toast the hot dog buns on a grill or grill pan until nicely charred.
3. Whisk together the eggs in a bowl and add the milk, pinch of salt, brown sugar, and melted chocolate.
4. Fill 6 to 8 ramekins with the pieces of hot dog buns and top with the chocolate mixture. Let it sit for a minute or two to soak in. Top with caramel corn.
5. Put the ramekins into a roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with boiling water until it reaches about halfway up the ramekins. Carefully place the roasting pan in the oven and bake until cooked through, about 15 minutes.
6. In a saucepan, heat the root beer, sugar, and pinch of salt until reduced by two thirds and the sugar is dissolved to make a root beer caramel.
7. Once the bread pudding is finished, pop it out of the ramekins onto a plate to serve and top with root beer caramel and whipped cream.
