This bread pudding is rich and chocolately thanks to the double chocolate pound cake with chocolate chunks and a warm drizzle of hot fudge. This dish comes together quickly since you don't have to bake a pound cake from scratch ... just thaw the Sara Lee pound cake slices!

6 Sara Lee double chocolate pound cake slices, thawed according to package directions
3/4 stick butter, melted
1 1/2 cups eggnog*
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/3 cup chopped pecans
hot fudge sauce for garnish (optional)

Cut pound cake into 1 inch cubes. Drizzle melted butter over pound cake cubes and toss gently to coat. Place cubes in prepared baking dish or ramekins. My dish was an oval baker with dimensions of 9.5 in...
