Instructions: (You could probably substitute chocolate syrup for the cocoa and sugar.)

Wash rice if necessary and drain. Boil gently in a covered pot with the water for 15 minutes or until rice is partially cooked. Mix sugar, cocoa and salt and add to rice. Simmer covered for 15 minutes more, stirring occasionally. When done, this will be slightly "soupy" - sort of like those nice brownie puddings. But it solidifies when refrigerated. Serve with milk, if desired.

Serves 6.

NOTES : Ive enjoyed the thread on chocolate, as I, too have been having cravings. I try to resist them, but sometimes I cant. Heres an easy recipe thats surprisingly good. I really like it the next day after its been refrigerated overnight. (

recommended variety of rice is the "sweet, sticky" rice, available in Asian grocery stores. Filipinos call it

"malagkit." If you dont have that, use any rice you have.

Shorter grain
approximates the recipe the best. Brown rice would have to cook longer.
