Hot Chocolate Pudding #BakingBloggers

A few months back I shared a recipe for Master Mix and said I'd tell you all about one of my all time favorite recipes using this  Master Mix. 
Life got in the way and tripped me a few times since then, and I kept meaning to make it, but again, I'd put it off and put it off, and, well,  you get the drift.

I joined a group called Baking Bloggers a few months ago, and every month we have a challenge.
I kinda like challenges, so long as they're the baking kind.  I know how to rise to an occasion then.
So this month the challenge was Baking with Small Appliances. 

Well, my mind went immediately to Crock Pots, but I've made cakes before in Crock pots and while I knew I could do it again, I wanted to try my hand at using a toaster oven.  I recently got one, and hadn't used it.

And I've been craving this dessert for a very long time, a really long, long time.  as in years?  I'm not totally crazy about chocolate cake.   I do make a killer chocolate cake though, however I go weak in the knees when I'm faced with warm chocolate desserts. 
I swoon, I beg, I have even been known to lick the plate, and the serving dish and the serving spoon and...

Sorry, I got carried away a little there.

I made a couple of small servings, cause as I said I'm powerless when it comes to a warm chocolate cake with sauce, or in this case a warm chocolate pudding. sigh

Powerless, with the inability to say no to a second helping or a third, oh heck, I'll just eat the whole thing kind of mindset. 

This chocolate pudding makes its own sauce, and while you can serve it plain, it tastes really good with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
