About

I have to admit, when chocolate is a must, these extremely quick-and-easy puddings are my guilty little pleasure. They are designed specifically for making in the microwave and are a true lifesaver. Stick to the basic pudding, or, for an additional treat, add a little surprise to them from the suggestions below. The cooking times are based on an 850-watt microwave. It’s pretty amazing to see these puddings cook in a matter of minutes.
