My roommate is so obsessed with Bobo’s that it’s become a thing for us to hit Shattuck at 10pm just to get a toast box. I was on a mission to recreate it at home, so we could satisfy our late night sugar cravings while in our pjs and watching cheesy rom-coms.

My next thought was: “How do I take that irresistible brick toast to the next level?” Inspired by the staple that is the San Franciscan bread bowl and my weekend brunch of French toast, I present to you– the ultimate dessert bread bowl.
