       Yield: 6 Servings
  
       3 oz Chocolate, unsweetened; cut
            -into small pieces
       2 c  Half & half
       2 c  Bread crumbs, white, soft;
            -packed loosely
       2    Eggs, jumbo
       1 c  Sugar, granulated
   1 1/2 ts Vanilla
       1 pn Salt
       1 c  Heavy cream; whipped
  
     HEAT THE CHOCOLATE AND half and half in a large saucepan over low
   heat for 12-15 minutes, stirring frequently until chocolate is
   completely melted. Remove pan from the heat, stir in the crumbs and
   let stand for one hour.
     Preheat oven to 350F. Beat the eggs until frothy, blend in the
   sugar, vanilla and salt, then mix into the chocolate. Pour the
   pudding into a buttered 1 1/2-quart casserole, set it in a shallow
   baking pan and pour enough hot water into the pan to come halfway up
   the sides of the casserole. Bake the pudding uncovered for 50 to 60
   minutes until the pudding is set like custard.
     To test it, insert a toothpick in the center. If it comes out clean,
   pudding is done. Serve the pudding warm, topped with dollops of
   whipped cream.
