OK, so this recipe from my <a href="http://frogandsnail.com/2011/10/living-with-food-allergies-guittard-milk-chocolate-maxi-chips-nut-free/">favorite chocolate chips in the world</a> isn't the real thing (and real <em>pots de creme</em> are easy enough to make as it is) but since one of <a href="http://www.everydaytreats.com/2011/10/stopping-then-starting-again.html">my kids has an egg allergy</a>, 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 that instant pudding in your pantry and I guarantee you won't go back. Who says real food is hard?

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