    There are few flavor combinations I like more than chocolate and peanut butter.  Something about that nutty creaminess mixed with a good bittersweet chocolate is just perfection for me.  

    Quick and easy recipe for chocolate peanut butter pudding.

    I had a last minute dinner party last weekend and needed to come up with a quick and easy dessert that I had all the ingredients for already – and this pudding was just the answer.  It was chilling in the fridge in less than 15 minutes after I started making it – giving me plenty of time to focus on the main course.

    This recipe makes 4 – 6 desserts, depending on the size of your ramekins.  I only have large ones, so I made 4, but it’s pretty dense and rich, so I think 6 smaller ones might be a better choice.  You can use crunchy peanut butter if you want, but I think the texture of this pudding was perfect super creamy – then add chopped peanuts on top to give it that crunch.  It’s really delicious – and perfect for kids and adults alike.
