I think this may be the first time I have ever made homemade chocolate pudding. My mom always used the jello brand pudding that you cooked which was delicious! It was always way better than the instant kind! I thought it would be fun to make a homemade version and it sure was easy! As you can see, my youngest guy gobbled this up!!! As for my other son, he only wanted to know why I didn’t make vanilla pudding! Guess that’s next on the baking list. Can they ever just like the same thing? hee hee
