"I came up with this warm dessert when baby-sitting on a cold rainy night," says Victoria Kvassay of Covina, California. "The kids were asking for something sweet, and I was craving bread pudding."

Ingredients

3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup whipped cream cheese
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon butter
10 slices white bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
15 miniature peanut butter cups, quartered

Directions

In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the cream, chocolate chips, cream cheese, sugar and butter. Cover and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes or until chips are melted; stir until smooth. Add the bread cubes; toss to coat.
Place half of the bread mixture in a greased 8-in. square microwave-safe dish. Sprinkle with peanut butter cups; top with the remaining bread mixture. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 1-1/2 minutes or until peanut butter cups are melted. Serve warm.
