Sugar Topped Chocolate Bread Pudding image

When cooked the sugar becomes crunchy and adds an elegant finish. This recipe was printed in the March 2003 edition of Bon Appetit and is reported to be served at the Red Fish Grill in New Orleans. I made this for my best friends birthday bash last year. Not low in anything!
