Best and Easiest Chocolate Pudding!!!!

I don't know about you but I love chocolate pudding!!!  Not the prepackaged or instant puddings in a box mix, yuk!  I'm talking about the kind you make over the stove.  There is nothing like the taste and the texture of freshly made, on the range, pudding.

Advertising would have you believe that it is hard to make.  Not true!  It's surprisingly easy and quick.  I have tried many different recipes for this treat and I think this is a winner!

This pudding is rich, smooth and chocolaty!  Here is the easy to follow recipe.

Ingredients:

2/3 C Granulated Suger

1/4 C Cocoa Powder

3 Tbls Cornstarch

1/2 tps Salt

Whisk these first 4 ingredients together in a medium saucepan.

Stir in the 2 1/4 C of whole milk

Stir constantly over medium flame and just as the pudding starts to thicken but before it boils add 1 tsp vanilla and 2 Tbls butter.  The pudding should be boiling by the time the vanilla and butter are mixed in.  Remove from the flame and pour immediately into 4 individual sized serving dishes.  Make sure to lick the spoon!  That was easy!  Time to enjoy or chill if you prefer cold pudding.  It's delicious either way!!!
