Eggless Chocolate Pudding

A few days ago I decided that I will try and pursue food blogging, once and for all. I have always been fond of preparing food, more so taking photos of them; so I realized, why not do both?

For my first recipe, I considered the safe road by whipping some Chocolate Pudding. Since my family enjoys them and creating it seems easy, I took the plunge!

This was actually a happy accident, I just thought of making a dessert on a whim with the leftover chocolate from last Christmas! My dad and I have this habit of keeping expired sweet bars and throwing them away when they are long past their best before date. I have an aversion to wasting food (especially sweets), this was definitely one way of reusing them (besides munching them piece by piece).
