Campfire Chocolate Bread Pudding
"This is a modification of an old-time favorite recipe by my mother, Aldine Bonner, from the late 1930's, to take with you camping. A 6-quart Dutch oven is perfect for convenient baking in the coals or with charcoal briquettes. Serves 8 to 10 persons. Good with a fresh pot of coffee or whipped cream if you have it."
