How to Make Wonderful Homemade Chocolate Pudding Mix

**Make the Mix:** In a medium bowl, sift together 2 cups granulated sugar, 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 cup cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon salt.
**Store the Mix:** Transfer the sifted dry ingredients to an airtight container or heavy-duty freezer bag. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
**Make the Pudding:** In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan (or microwave-safe bowl), whisk together 1 cup of the chocolate pudding mix and 2 cups of milk until smooth.
**Cook on the Stovetop (or Microwave):** **Stovetop:** Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil and thickens (about 2-3 minutes). **Microwave:** Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through, until thickened. If using the microwave, be careful as the mixture may splatter.
**Finish the Pudding:** Remove from heat (or microwave). Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until melted and combined.
**Serve:** Divide the pudding into individual serving bowls and let cool slightly before enjoying. Top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries for an extra decadent treat!
