OK, so this recipe from my favorite chocolate chips in the world isn't the real thing (and real <em>pots de creme</em> are easy enough to make) but since one of my kids has an egg allergy, I like the fact that this recipe doesn't include eggs. It's as easy to make as instant pudding, but instead of weird ingredients like tetrasodium pyrophosphate and "blue 1" it has three ingredients: chocolate, milk and butter.

Try this instead of instant pudding and I guarantee you won't go back to instant ever again.

(I got the recipe from the bag of Guittard chocolate chips. They are DELICIOUS.)
