Warm Chocolate Pudding

I have had a yearning for chocolate pudding for about a week now. I saw this recipe today and knew I wanted to make it for dessert tonight. This is not super sweet so you might want to add another tablespoon or 2 of sugar. I liked it this way and with the sweetened whipped cream it was perfect. The recipe orginally called for bittersweet chocolate and I am glad I opted to use semi-sweet chocolate. Semi-sweet is very similar to bittersweet, but has more sugar added. It has about 35 -54% cocoa solids.

Looking to make a chocolate substitution?

1 ounce unsweetened chocolate = 1 square or 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder plus 1 tablespoon butter or margarine

1 oz. Semisweet Chocolate = 1 oz. unsweetened chocolate + 1 T. sugar

6 squares or 6 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted = 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted
