Chocolate Pudding for Two

This is my all-time favorite recipe for chocolate pudding.  It’s a fairly small batch, so I call it Chocolate Pudding for Two.

The original version of the recipe is from Penzey’s Spice Company, but since we’re a small family, I cut it in half. Feel free to double it if you want more. I also brown the butter to give it a bit more depth. but you can skip that step and just put the butter in at the end if you prefer. This recipe does not contain any eggs.
