Homemade Chocolate Pudding

This is another recipe from the Collector's Edition of Quick Cooking Magazine. This edition came out in 1999. I made this Tuesday night before leaving for scout meeting. I didn't get to try it until late. It was wonderful. Creamy. I didn't have M&M's, so I used peanut butter chips on top. That was awesome!

Ingredients:

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup baking cocoa

1/4 cup corn starch

1/2 tsp salt

4 cups milk

2 T butter

2 tsp. vanilla extract

M&M's, optional

Directions:

In heavy saucepan, combine sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and salt. Gradually add milk. Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat; boil and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.

Remove from the heat; stir in butter and vanilla. Spoon into individual serving dishes. Chill until serving.

Sprinkle with M&M's if desired.

Yield: 6-8 servings.
