This is a great new way to make chocolate pudding. I loved learning this new technique.

I agree with other reviewers that this pudding is just as good if not better than boxed, but I will make a few changes next time I make this recipe. I plan on adding a few tablespoons more of sugar and only microwaving it for one minute after the initial three minutes. It was a little too thick once chilled.

This is really tasty, super chocolately and so fast and easy. It does taste a bit corn starchy, though, and maybe a little bit of butter might help it. It is a pretty diet-friendly choco-fix too, especially if you substitute Splenda for the sugar, which makes no difference in the taste in my opinion! You can do a LOT of different with this recipe.

This is delicious! My kids helped me make it, and we stirred in a big spoonful of peanut butter (maybe 1/4 cup)in the end. Boy, that really made it good! We also enjoyed in warm because we couldn't wait for it to cool down. I used skim milk and it still came out thick and smooth.

This is so good. I doubled the recipe so I added two Tbs of butter like recommended and I added cinnamon. My husband and kids loved it. So much better than instant.

although it was good it had that 'quick cooked' microwave taste to it. Over the stovetop is always more flavourful even if it might take 5 more min, it is well worth it. So i would opt to stovetop and not microwave this.

Any time you can pull together a fantastic dessert from things you really do have in your pantry, it's a 5 star!! Nothing extraordinary here, but it beats Jell-O by a mile, and satisfies a chocolate craving.

Excellent. If you are a fan of rich chocolate in desserts like those found in better restaurants, I suggest adding some bittersweet chocolate (I used 1/2 ounce which = 1 square of Ghirardelli)Added it to liquid ingredients prior to thickening. Oh, my! Pudding served warm with this addition is beyond words.

Worked really well with 1% milk! Tastes more chocolaty than boxed and I don't think it needs the butter, but a pinch of salt and cinnamon didn't hurt.

Pretty rich on the chocolate. I'd like it sweeter. Was surprised to see the pudding set up via microwave. It was so runny/liquidy after the first 2 1-minutes stirring rotations. But the 3rd minute is when it got thick for me. Cool! I only rate 3 *'s because the taste wasn't sweet enough.

Not as good as the real thing, but if you are in a hurry this is great. I used less sugar and more chocolate.

I was really suprized at how easy this was! However, I thought it tasted a little weird. I think maybe it was the vanilla extract. I loaded it with a mountain of whipped cream and my family gobbled it up! I will make it again, using less vanilla to see if that was indeed the culprit.

Ok so I am not a baker and this recipe proved it lol! as easy as it seemed I messed it up twice. I am thinking the first time I didnt microwave long enough, it was more like syrup, so we put it over icecream! and the second time I could build a snowman out of it, it was so thick (maybe too long in microwave this time) At least I was able to thin it down a bit. the taste was great though either way. One of these days I will be able to make a dessert!

It actually took a few more turns in the microwave than listed in the recipe, but the end result was worth it. Almost as easy as pre-made mix, but you can customize it! Mint and coconut are two of my favorite extras.

WOW!!! My husband loves chocolate pudding and now I can make it homemade. I cooked this on top of the stove and found it easier for me to watch and stir as it thickened. VERY YUMMY!!

Heavenly days! This is sooooo good! So homemade, so easy, so quick! This is a great recipe if you're looking for something healthy to feed a sweet tooth. I used sugar, but will be trying it with Splenda next time round. I found that cooking it the full amount of time makes it very thick, which will be perfect poured into a prebaked shell with layers of ice cream, chocolate wafer crumbles, and chocolate syrup for husbands birthday in a few days! I liked this so much I printed it to add to my binder of faves! Thanks for sharing this gem!
