Yum, yum, yum! This has become a staple in our house. I used to make pudding on the stove, but this is so much quicker and easier and it tastes the same! Thanks for the recipe!

I'm certainly not a pudding connoisseur by any means but I do enjoy chocolate pudding. This is quick, simple and tastes great. For something I can whip up in under 10 mins, I think it's great! Thanks.

Made the pudding on the stove instead of the microwave with great results. Used 2% milk and added the dollop of butter at the end. Just a quick and easy pudding that tasted thick and delicious! Cheap, tasty and quick - what could be better than that?

I have made this twice now and still haven't gotten the consistency correct. I put in 3 tbsp. of cornstarch, but it was still too thin. However, I thought it would thicken up when I put it in the fridge, but it was a big soupy mess! I tried it the second time and probably put 4 tbsp. of cornstarch and that was way too much...almost jello-like. I'm thinking 3 1/2 tbsp. would be a good combination. I haven't mustered up the courage to attempt this a third time yet. The flavor is great though; very chocolately and smooth texture.

This chocolate pudding tasted better than anything I have ever made from a box. Next time I make it I will decrease the sugar to 1/3 a cup. I found it too sweet for my liking.

I have made this recipe twice a week for the last 3 weeks. My family and friends can get enough of it! I have changed the recipe just a little. I use 1/2 Hershey Special Dark coco powder and 1/2 Hershey Original coco powder. Once the pudding comes out of the micro I add the vanilla and a small pat of butter. It made the pudding very smooth and delicious.

This was easy to make and very tasty. I added butter, as per other suggestions, and added some milk chocolate chips and skor pieces at the end. My husband and I like frozen desserts, so I poured the pudding into individual containers and popped them in the freezer overnight. Yum.

This pudding recipe is absolutely AWESOME!! I don't think I could go back to boxed pudding again! I used Special Dark cocoa and made ultimate dark chocolate pudding that we loved! You can't ask for a faster dessert than 5 ingredients and 5 minutes in the microwave! Make sure you use a large enough bowl to avoid boil over in the microwave, though! You won't be sorry whipping this delicious dessert up! :-)

I like the idea of this being quick and easy but I substituted the flour for cornstarch (and doubled it as recommended). The flour I think gave it an off taste. Next time I'll try it with cornstarch...otherwise I think this recipe could be really good.

My roommate and I loved making this in giant coffee mugs after our cold songfest practices outside. It's great just the way it is, with skim milk or 1%.

Easy, fast, delicious, and doesn't come from a mix. If you put plastic wrap over the top, against the surface, no skin forms in the fridge. Try it, it's great!

I am very impressed with this recipe! When I try to make recipes, they NEVER come out right. This one did! Yay! I to added 2 TBSP of butter with the vanilla. This was so yummy, I will likely make it again...but not eat so much at a time. Chocolate overload!

Very good and very quick. I have used half a vanilla bean instead of the vanilla and sometimes stir in a tablespoon of butter as per the other reviews.

Excellent and super easy! I made mine in a sauce pan on the stove instead of the microwave. Just continually wisk the mixture until it bubbles and is thick and shiny. This is easily made fat free with splenda and skim milk. This recipe will be a life-long favorite!

I make this frequently, but using Splenda in place of the sugar. About 1 cup of it gives the right degree of sweetness. Often I find that I need more Splenda than the equivalent measure of sugar, especially when the dessert is to be refrigerated. I always put a very tiny pinch of baking soda in with my Hershey's cocoa in order to neutralize some of the acidity. It makes an excellent sugar free treat, and using skim milk keeps the calories down, too, without sacrificing flavor. If you fold in some sugar free Cool Whip, it can be transformed into a respectable sugar free mousse. Additionally, 1 tsp of vanilla is usually sufficient. Nice recipe for a quick chocolate fix.

Pretty good, but less vanilla. It's quick and easy to make. It's a great treat on any occasion, and I probably will make it again. My pudding was a little lumpy and I followed the directions so if you're going to make it I recommend stirring it a lot when it comes out of the microwave.

This pudding recipe is fantastic and easy!! I did add two tablespoons of butter when I added the vanilla. If you have a convection microwave it only takes about 2 1/2 mn after the initial 3mn. My husband loved it and we will not be buying boxes of jello anymore. Thankyou for such a great recipe!!
