Who can resist a simple but incredible delicious chocolate treat? Chocolate Pudding with Strawberries is the perfect gift from your kitchen to your loved ones this Valentine’s Day! I cannot remember who said, “Sometimes the best dishes are the simplest,” but it is certainly true with this.
Note: Did you know that the word “chocolate” comes from the Aztec word “xocoatl” in reference to the bitter drink made from cacao by the Aztecs and Mayans in Central America?
