Method
 

  1. Cook the Base: In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, cocoa powder, milk, sugar, and 1 tablespoon of butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  2. Simmer to Perfection: Let the mixture cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender but still surrounded by a silky, chocolatey sauce. If the mixture gets too thick, stir in more milk to keep it creamy.
  3. Add the Chocolate: Remove the pan from heat. Stir in the dark chocolate, remaining butter, and salt until the chocolate is fully melted and the pudding is luscious and smooth.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Spoon the pudding into bowls and top with whipped cream and crushed candy canes for a festive finish. Serve warm and enjoy the ultimate comforting dessert!
