Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups milk
  • 3 egg large yolks
  • 2 tablespoons butter cut into pieces, unsalted
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups candy bars chopped
  • Whipped Cream optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, cocoa and salt. Whisk in the milk. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking constantly. Boil for 1 minute.
  2. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks. While whisking the yolks constantly, add in about a cup of the hot milk mixture. Pour the mixture back into the pan, whisking constantly. Stir until thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla. Pour into a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap onto the surface of the pudding.
  3. Refrigerate the pudding until set up, at least 2 hours. Before serving, stir in 1 1/2 cups of the chopped candy bars, then divide the pudding between 5 serving bowls. Top with the remaining candy bars. Top with whipped cream, if desired.
