CHOCOLATE CROISSANT BREAD PUDDING

What a great use for day old croissants!  A less expensive way to buy the croissants is to check the day-old section of your supermarket bakery department.  Any flavor croissant can be used, you can always drop some chocolate chips in with the plain croissants, or chopped pecans with apple croissants, etc.  Use your imagination!
