Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip French Toast Casserole

I found myself with several loaves of old bread on hand, so I decided to make a French Toast Casserole, which kind of turned out to be more like a sweet dessert once I sprinkled on chocolate chips and drizzled peanut butter.

In any case, it was an easy and great way to use up old bread (I doubled the recipe), and I'm thinking about making a savory version the next time!
