This is from my cookbook that came with my very first microwave, about 30 years ago. This is very easy to make and really good. It's pretty chocolaty, so add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and enjoy!.

How to Make Microwave Chocolate Pudding

Step-by-Step

1In large mixing bowl blend together sugar, cornstarch and salt. Gradually stir in milk, mixing well. Add chocolate squares. Microwave on HIGH 5 to 7 minutes, stirring every 3 minutes until mixture is smooth, thickened and clear.
2Stir a small amount of hot pudding quickly into egg. Return egg mixture to hot pudding, mixing well. Microwave on HIGH 1 to 3 minutes, stirring after 1 minute, until smooth and thickened.
3Add butter and vanilla. Stir until butter is melted. Pour into serving dishes.
