I'm a latecomer to rice pudding but have been making up for lost time. Real talk: I have purchased Costco-amounts of Kozy Shack rice pudding for myself (and only myself) to consume. I like to stir in some cinnamon and cardamon before digging in.
Another chocolate recipe, you ask? I personally believe that you can never have too many chocolate recipes, especially in February.
Chocolate pudding is easier to make than you think. The benefit of the homemade version is that it is more chocolaty than what you would get at the grocery store. It does require a bit of patience as you wait for the mixture to boil and thicken up, but it will get there so don't lose hope. Your perseverance will be rewarded.
