Smooth, creamy Rich Chocolate Pudding makes a great afternoon snack.
One snack I think most people loved as a child, or at least I did and I’m pretty sure most still do as adults, is pudding. You already know from this post that I love banana pudding. To me the only thing better than banana is chocolate! I have professed my love of/for chocolate many times here on the blog, it never lets me down and always tastes so good. When my sister and I were young we loved Snack Packs, specifically the chocolate ones, especially the brownie 3 layered ones. For a while now I have been talking about making pudding from scratch and this morning I finally did! All I can say is move over instant – I may never buy you again! This pudding is creamy, decadent and full of rich chocolate flavor. It comes together quite easy and quick, it’s sure to become a favorite in your home, as it is in mine. I hope you enjoy!
