Charismatic Chocolate Bread Pudding

== Description ==
Received from church pot luck in 1984. The lady who gave it to me said that her grandmother used to make it for her as a child, so it is at least 70 years old and another mainstay at our supper club and family gatherings. Yummy.
== Ingredients ==
* 6 slices of day old bread crumbled
* 4 cups scalded milk
* ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
* 1 cup granulated sugar
* 4 slightly beaten eggs
* ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
Sauce:
* ¼ cup dark corn syrup
* ¼ cup canned evaporated milk
* 1 cup chocolate chips
Topping:
* 4 egg whites
* ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
* 8 tablespoons sugar
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
== Directions ==
# Prepare the pudding by putting bread into a buttered baking dish. 
# Blend milk, butter, Sugar, eggs, salt, and vanilla until well combined. 
# Pour over bread. Bake at 350 for 45–60 minutes until pudding is done (solid). 
# Make the sauce by melting chocolate chips with corn syrup and evaporated milk. 
# Pour over cooled pudding.
