It was 109 here today with excessive heat warnings and we are being asked to conserve energy. This was a wonderful, quick treat to whip up on the stove-top before the peak hours of 3-7. It is really good! I think I will try freezing a serving to see how that works out. I used butter for the margarine and 2 percent milk. KayK, thanks for a great recipe! It's a keeper!

This was so easy, I'm never buying boxed mixes again. I added a bit extra cocoa because I like extra chocolate flavor (I would always add extra to box mixes, too), and I switched the margarine for 2 T butter. I don't like my pudding to be too thick, so I didn't let it boil, but turned off the heat just before it started to bubble. It was the perfect consistency for me. Yummy.

I added a bit more cocoa than the recipe suggested and it came out very rich and chocolatey. Loved the texture and that I can make it with ingredients that are in my kitchen already!!

This was fantastic, just the recipe I'd been looking for. It was so easy to whip up, and there were no fussy ingredients to be bought. I am not one to have cream, powdered milk, or eggs always in the house! My family loved it. It comes to a boil pretty quick especially with skim milk, so "stir constantly" is very must. Thanks a ton for posting.
