Homemade Chocolate Pudding

My great-grandmother's homemade chocolate pudding. Mom has had this recipe forever, when we want real pudding this is where we go. Original calls for Milnot which is an old brand name of evaporated milk. I'm not really sure about the 6oz can of evaporated milk. The large evaporated milk can being 12oz is likely correct but the other can is just smaller than the 12 oz, not having one on hand we think it is 6 oz. Cook time is an estimate. We like to eat it hot, very little ever makes it to cool!

Ingredients
