I love the chocolate pudding mix. I have it almost every day. I pre-mix them on the weekend and store them in one-cup containers in the fridge to take with me to work for lunch throughout the week. Maybe you should let them set longer? To me they taste no different than pudding cups you buy at the store.
I also use them to make chocolate shakes for my evening snack. I put them in the blender with water, ice and either WF chocolate sauce, WF peanut spread, coconut extract or almond extract to change the flavour a bit. Very yummy!
I don't like the vanilla pudding mix on its own. I either add cinnamon, WF chocolate sauce or WF strawberry spread to it.
Hope this helps!
