I love this pudding! I was using it for a pudding in the middle bundt cake, and thankfully there was plenty extra. Or I wouldn't have had enough for the bundt cake. My family just couldn't get enough!

I chose this Chocolate pudding recipe for it's simple ingredients, but it turned out to be so good I had to keep making it over and over again. It's fast, it simple, it does not require very many ingredients and the directions are simple and easy to understand. It makes great chocolate gravy too! Thank you for your post!

Good pudding! Quick, simple, and quite tasty. I have some pudding junkies in my house, though I just don't care for pudding... They loved it! I put in some semi-sweets and let them partially melt so it was chunky-chocolate. They thought it was a nice touch. Thanks for posting! ~LindseyMarie *His blood has washed away my sins, Jesus thank you. The Father's wrath completely satisfied, Jesus thank you.

I split the recipe in 1/2 but I tasted the vanilla a little too much for my taste. Next time, I'll add less...Great pudding though!

MMMMmmmmmmm good!!! I didn't have cornstarch on hand, so I substituted flour...2 Tbsp flour = 1 Tbsp Cornstarch...What a great dessert!! We ate it warm with coffee ice cream ontop!! It's the BEST!!!
