Creating Crock Pot Bread Pudding is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Bread: Cube your choice of bread into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
3. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture over the cubed bread. Gently stir until all the bread is soaked, ensuring no dry bits remain.
4. Add Extras: If using, fold in the raisins or chocolate chips for added flavor.
5. Transfer to Crock Pot: Grease the inside of your Crock Pot with cooking spray or butter. Pour the bread mixture into the Crock Pot, spreading it evenly.
6. Cook: Cover and cook on low for 2-3 hours or on high for 1-1.5 hours, or until the center is set and a knife inserted comes out clean.
7. Cool Slightly: Once cooked, turn off the Crock Pot and let the bread pudding cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
8. Serve: Dish out warm portions and drizzle with caramel sauce or top with whipped cream if desired.
