Wonderful Homemade Chocolate Pudding Mix

"This is an inexpensive way to always have chocolate pudding on hand and it's tastes just as good as the boxed --- to avoid any chance of a scorched saucepan bottom this can easily be prepared in the microwave, for a lighter milk chocolate flavor use only 1 cup cocoa."

  1. I am on Weight Watchers, therefore, I substituted the same amount of Splenda for the sugar. DEEE-lish!! The butter is nice, but omitting it does not hurt the results. Mixed with Cool Whip, it is just like eating a slice of chocolate pie, minus the crust,of course!! Thanks for the great recipe!
     
  2. Delicious, simple and quick! Both my honey and I loved it!!!! Will be making this often. Thanks!
     
  3. Used Dark Cocoa instead of regular and 2c sucanat. Still was very sweet (but good). Next time will try with 1.5c sucanat. It was DELISH!! We made for our dinner during kids dance competition. Poured into 7 small baby food jars. Was a great way to end a long day. Homemade dark chocolate pudding cups, can't go wrong!
     
  4. I did a test run with this pudding as I want to give this in my Christmas Gift Baskets this year. WOW Kitt! This is delicious! Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe I know I'll be making for years to come! Can't wait to start making baskets!
     
  5. Worked like a charm! I needed dessert in a hurry and this pleased hubby to no end. I made a chocolate pie with it. I used 1 cup of cocoa and that was just right for him. I like being able to adjust the "chocolateyness" of the pudding.Thanks Kitten
