Tips:

If you don’t have cocoa powder on hand but you have chocolate chips use 7 ounces of Bittersweet Chocolate chips. Add the chips in when you add the butter 

Placing plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding prevents skin from forming

Add finished pudding into a 1 whole cooked pie crust (pie dough, pretzel crust, graham cracker, etc.)
