My daughter Kelly submitted this (my) recipe a number of years ago...this is still my favorite, after all these years. I've been reading some of the reviews. I now make this recipe with only 1/3 Cup of white sugar. I also heap the cocoa measurements. Also, after cooling a bit, place plastic wrap right down over the top of the pudding and this prevents the rubbery film from forming. DO NOT REDUCE THE CORNSTARCH MEASUREMENT.If it's too think you're over cooking it, if it's too thin...you're under cooking. I've found this recipe to be virtually fool proof. ENJOY!!

i found myself having to add a small ammount of brown sugar and milk mixed together at the end, just before removing from heat.. i stirred it in and it took away the over thickening i had going on. plus the brown sugar gave it the sweetness it was lacking. Overall its great. It tastes like chocolate pudding :)

I've done this recipe but instead of ordinary milk I took soy milk. It was just delicious.

More like 4.5 stars A very nice basic chocolate pudding recipes. I heard alot of people decreasing the cornstarch BUT DO NOT. I used what was asked of the recipe and the pudding came out great. I always thought pudding was too time consuming but it was really quite simple and tasty I read reviews that people found is soupy. Not too put fault but I at first thought it was going to be soupy but you just need to keep on stirring because it does take a little patience. You will need to keep stirring the whole 10 minutes and it will thicken up I made it for a special date night with my husband and he really liked the homemade taste Will make again for special occasions

I had high hopes for this, but it turned out to be just mediocre. It definitely tasted better the second day, and it certainly was easy. However, despite the fact that I stirred constantly, there were still some lumps that caused a bitter aftertaste. (Most likely the cocoa or cornstarch.) While this was easy to prepare, I honestly think it's just as easy to use the cook and serve mix (i.e. Mighty Fine brand) from a box. Sadly, I probably won't make this again.

Thanks for a great pudding recipe. I made a chocolate pie with it. I first made a graham craker crust and then poured the pudding into the crust. After the pudding had cooled a bit, I put 3/4 of a cup of mini chocolate chips in it. Then I served it with whip cream and a few mini chocolate chips over the top. My family loved it, especially my step daughter.

My pudding didn't thicken as much as I expected. The flavor was good though. And I made fudge pops with them as another person did. They were so yummy! I'll probably make this pudding again this summer when I'm craving a fudge pop!

Well I took the advice of another review and added more cocoa powder (1/4 c.). I also decreased the amount of cornstarch to 3 T because I was afraid of it being too gelatinous. The flavor was good but I ended up with runny pudding. I'm guessing that I either didn't cook it long enough or that it needed all of the cornstarch.

This was ok. I followed the advice of others who rated the recipe and lowered the cornstarch and increased the cocoa. Maybe we didn't cook it long enough but it was very loose and even with the extra cocoa wasn't chocolatey enough. Perhaps I will try another version of instant pudding.

To me this has a slightly bitter after taste. I also used slightly less cornstarch as suggested by others, and it is a little soupy for me. I might try to make again.

When I make this right it tastes better that the packaged Jello pudding cups I used to binge on in college. Listen to all of the top rated reviewer's suggestions- good stuff, and I know cause I've made this about half a dozen times already.
