Box? I don't need no Stinkin' box.. to make Chocolate pudding.

"Mom, I want something sweet.." the kid said to me from across the apartment. So I said to him, okay, I can make some chocolate pudding. He gave me this awkward look, mom, there's no pudding in the cabinet. HUH? Seriously? I don't need a BOX to make pudding! Hmmf..

and off to the kitchen I went and dug out my recipe...


5 minute chocolate pudding

Ingredients:

2 cups skim milk

1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
3 tablespoons cornstarch
