mexican flair creamy chocolate pudding
My Husband and son fight over who gets the last dish of this delicious chocolate pudding...there is just a bit of kick to it with the red chile pepper addition, and cinnamon always goes well with chocolate...it's delicious! I've also used this pudding for pie...don't like spice? Just make the pudding without the spice...it's so good! Enjoy!
