Chocolate lovers alert-intense chocolate-creamy. I had thought about skipping the sieve step but did not skip so mine was lump free. Timing is right on. I appreciate recipes like this where I have the ingredients on hand plus a dessert that can be reduced for two people. When preparing the pudding, I allowed a half cup liquid per serving. The top layer%u2019s color looked a bit different than the underneath part-tasted fine but looked a tad different so did some reading up on why so next time I would cool pudding to lukewarm temperature before saran wrapping and putting in fridge. Made for my PAC 2011 Fall baby.

This is wonderful! Great flavor. Easy to make. And, you more for later (within a month). I am so glad I found this. I do not like boxed mixes - too many things in them to preserve them on the shelf. Enjoy....

First off I gotta say ~ Pay no attention to the Nutritional Facts box, because the way the recipe is written (to include the pudding mix AS WELL AS using half of that mix to make pudding for at least 4 servings), those 'facts' are thrown way off! OK, now on to the recipe itself ~ Definitely a winner for the making of a very flavorful & satisfying pudding that would leave a silly smile on the face of any chocoholic! Now I look forward to using it whenever I make one of the several recipes I have that call for chocolate pudding! Thanks for this great keeper! [Made & reviewed in I Recommend recipe tag]
