Around my house it usually gets to cool for about 5 minutes. Then it dies a quick and painless death! ;-P

I have NEVER made chocolate pudding before and was a little scared. This recipe turned out great. My family will never eat store bought pudding again. I topped it with homemade whipped cream and a strawberry for garnish. It was so great grandma's puddin' is now our puddin'.

I reduced the sugar to 1/2 cup, as I find most pudding recipes too sweet for my taste. It was a very good pudding.
