Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease 13 x 9-inch baking dish with butter. Arrange bread in dish. Set aside.

Combine water, Abuelita chocolate, brown sugar and anise seeds in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until mixture reaches a boil. Remove from heat; whisk in media crema until fully combined. Pour over prepared bread, making sure to soak all pieces of bread. Top with raisins and nuts; cover with foil.
