Directions:
16 c. day-old Place bread cubes in very large bowl.
Heat half & half, cream, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg in medium pot over low heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add chocolate. Let sit for 5 minutes, and then stir until chocolate is melted. Cool for 30 minutes.
Slowly whisk eggs into chocolate mixture, one at a time. Poor over bread and stir to coat; allow to stand for 1 hour, until bread cubes are no longer dry in the center, stirring occasionally.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9x13 glass dish and pour in mixture. Place in a larger baking pan and transfer to oven. Carefully pour hot water into baking pan until it comes halfway up sides of dish. Bake for 1 hour until center is set and the inserted tip of a knife comes out clean. Remove from oven; cool until dish can be safely removed from pan.
Serve warm with chocolate sauce.

This recipe came free in a cookbook catalogue; it appears in "The Heaven on Seven Cookbook" by Jimmy Bannos and John DeMers (which I never did buy). This dessert is sinfully rich - a once a year treat!
