Homemade Chocolate Pudding is a classic, creamy dessert that's surprisingly easy to make…and after trying this silky, decadent chocolate pudding recipe, you'll never want store-bought again!

With only slightly more effort, you can cook up a pot of 100% Homemade Chocolate Pudding that is above and beyond anything you can find in the inner aisles of the grocery store.
