This delightful pudding is always a treat and easy to whip up using common pantry ingredients. I usually top the pudding with M&M's. My husband likes whipped topping on his and our daughter loves to dip fresh strawberries in hers.—Carrina Cooper, McAlpin, Florida

I LOVE pudding! It is so yummy and this recipe is perfect. My siblings love it when I make this pudding. I used half white sugar half coconut sugar the second time I made it and it was just as sweet.

P.S. Left out the M&M's though...I like my pudding creamy not chunky!

I (accidently) added about 1 tablespoon more of the cocoa...great accident though! Loved the pudding!

I would not put so much salt next time. Maybe just a pinch. And I cut the sugar to 2/3 cup.

This is SO much better than the box you buy at the store as well as the microwave recipe that I tried from YOUR competitor!

Sorry to be so critical with the star rating, but this simply just didn't "cut the mustard" for our family. On an up note, it was simple to prepare....

It turned out so smooth, and had a rich chocolate flavor. A box mix is quicker, but this is definitely better.

My family thought that chocolate was a little too strong. Next time I think I'll cut that back a little bit, but it was good.

Delicious! Just made a batch right now because I was craving something sweet, but didn't have anything around. Super easy to make (no more trouble than a box, really). Added a splash of milk and ate a cup warm. Thanks for sharing the recipe! Wish I had M&M's I'm sure that's yummy, too!
