Warm Cocoa Pudding with Candied Pecans


Chocolate, Gluten Free, Puddings, Recipes

Choooocolate pudding, ah yes.  I have loved chocolate pudding since, gosh, probably since I was one minute old.   Ok yeah, no, my mom did not feed me chocolate pudding as an infant.  Or, not that I’m aware.  Although if she had, she’d have deserved Mom of the Year title.  Well, she does anyway so […]
