Melt the chocolate chips according to package instructions and set aside until they are slightly cooled.
In a large bowl whisk the eggs with the milk and heavy cream. Then whisk in the vanilla, coco powder, and sugar. Finally, whisk in the coffee and melted chocolate.
Add the pretzel bread to the bowl, stirring so it is all covered. Let sit about 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9 by 13 inch baking dish by spraying it with cooking spray.
Once ready, pour the mixture into the pan and spread into an even layer.
Bake, uncovered, for 40 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, and a sprinkling of kosher salt.
