Candy Bar Pudding

What you need:

    • 1/3 cup sugar
    • 3 Tbsp. cornstarch
    • 1 Tbsp. cocoa powder
    • 1/8 tsp. salt
    • 2 cups milk
    • 3 large egg yolks
    • 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into pieces
    • 2 tsp. vanilla
    • 2 cups chopped candy bars [I chose Butterfingers]
    • Cool Whip for topping

Directions:

    1. Combine sugar, cornstarch, cocoa, and salt in a saucepan.
    2. Whisk milk into the dry mixture. Then bring to a boil over medium-high heat while continuing to whisk.
    3. Boil for one minute.
    4. In a bowl, beat egg yolks. Continue to beat the yolks and start adding in 1 cup of the hot milk mixture. Do this slowly and continue to beat the yolks while you do it.
    5. Afterwards, pour the egg yolk mixture into the saucepan and continue to whisk for about 1 minute until it thickens.
    6. Remove from heat and add butter and vanilla. Stir well.
    7. Place in a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap so that it touches the top of the pudding.
    8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
    9. Before serving, add 1 1/2 cups candy bar pieces, reserving the last 1/2 cup for topping the individual servings.
    10. Divide into bowls for serving and top with remaining candy bar pieces and Cool Whip.
