To Make Chocolate Pudding
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup dry mix and 2 cups milk until completely smooth.
- Place over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil and thickens (it should coat the back of a spoon). This usually takes 5-8 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla until fully melted and smooth.
- Pour into serving dishes.
- Serve warm, or press plastic wrap directly onto the surface and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours for chilled pudding.
