      Um, DEFINITELY chocolate over roses. This pudding looks great! I'm not a huge pudding fan - I think I was never a fan of the texture - but my husband looooves pudding so I'll be making this for him.

      I'm not usually a fan of chia pudding, but I think this version might convince me otherwise.

      Maybe I'm just really out of touch with current things , but what is a chocolate-flavored sweetener? I'm super interested in making this but I have no idea what that means. Thanks for your help!

        Hi Alannah! They are usually stevia-based drops, and come in all different flavors, chocolate being one. You could use your favorite sweetener in it's place though!
