1
Heat milk, sugar, cocoa powder and cornstarch in medium saucepan set over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, for 8 to 10 minutes or until mixture begins to steam and thicken slightly.
2
Remove from heat; whisk in egg yolks, one at a time, until incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips, butter, vanilla extract and salt until smooth.
3
Pour mixture evenly into four 1-cup (250 mL) ramekins, clear bowls or serving cups. Cover with plastic wrap; press gently onto pudding to avoid “skin” from forming. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight until set.
4
Remove plastic wrap and sprinkle evenly with cookie crumbs before serving.
Tip
Top your pudding cup with a “groundhog.” Use your favorite ladyfinger cookie (halved) as the groundhog body. Halve almond slivers; attach 2 halved slivers with melted HERSHEY’S CHIPITS Pure Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips for “ears,” and HERSHEY’S CHIPITS REESE’S Peanut Butter Chips for “cheeks.” Using melted HERSHEY’S CHIPITS Pure Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips, pipe eyes and a nose onto each groundhog. Then pipe melted HERSHEY’S CHIPITS White Creme Chips onto groundhogs for teeth or use almond slivers for teeth.
