Pudding is incredibly easy to make from scratch. Here is a modified recipe for chocolate pudding, from the Betty Crocker Cook Book. Since I never make anything that takes more than 20 minutes to prepare, this is a fast recipe too! kathy friend tektronix!teklds!kathyf ----------- Get a 2 or 3 qt. double boiler and fill the outside pot 1-2 inches with hot water. Put the pots together and place on med-high burner. To the inside pot,add: 1 and 3/4 cups granulated sugar 2 tablespoons cornstarch (if its old cornstarch, you may need 1/2 teaspoon more) 6 tablespoons powered unsweetened chocolate (the stuff you make hot choco with). mix together until the lumps of choco are very small (this prevents yuchy lumps in the pudding). add: 2 cups 1% milk (whole milk makes a mousse like pudding . . .) -------- heat over Med-High burner, until the pudding begins to bubble. About 10 minutes. Stir the milk as it heats to prevent lumps and thicken the pudding evenly. Turn down the burner to Low. In a cup or bowl, crack an egg and beat until whites are blended into yolk. Or use two egg yolks and beat until frothy. While stirring the eggs, slowly add about one cup of the pudding mixture. Then stir the egg mixture into the pudding. Cook for another 3 to 5 minutes. The pudding should start to look very thick. Turn off the burner, and remove the inside portion of double boiler. Add: 4 Tablespoons butter 1 teaspoon vanilla extract fold butter into pudding until melted. Cover with clear plastic and cool... Its also good while still warm!! :-) For a change, add about 1/4 teaspoon of mint extract.

[Sugar, dextrose, corn syrup solids, nonfat dry milk, artificial flavor, ...]
The same technique works for chocolate tapioca pudding.
