I wanted some chocolate pudding, so I found this recipe. It looked amazing, and the reviews were 5 stars! Do I tried this, but it never got thick. After 2 hours in the fridge it wouldn't set. Even after 10 hours in the fridge it was still like a really thin smoothie texture, not at all like pudding should be! Followed the recipe exactly. Throwing this away.

Usually I like leftovers, but I will make this again when I want a solo chocolate fix! I used about a tablespoon butterscotch chips and the rest chocolate - delicious!

I doubled the recipe and made it last night for a quick chocolate fix! Yum! It's good to have a tiny whisk on hand to mix the milk and cornstarch. I also used potato starch instead of corn and it worked perfectly. Enjoy!

I have made this recipe many, many times over the years, both with semisweet chocolate chips and milk chocolate ones. I wonder how it would be with butterscotch... or maybe a combination of butterscotch and chocolate? So simple to make and really satisfies a chocolate craving!
