Choco Lanterns

Cute to eat and decorate your Halloween table with!

Ingredients:

• 12 miniature pumpkins
• 1 cup sugar
• 2/3 cup cocoa powder
• 4 Tbsp. cornstarch
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 5 cups milk
• 1 tsp. vanilla

Directions:

Cut the tops off the pumpkins and remove most of the interior with a sharp knife. Then scoop to even out the inside. In a bowl, mix together the sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, and salt. Add the milk gradually as you mix with a wooden spoon. Pour into a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the pudding thickens. Now add the vanilla and mix again. Remove from the heat and pour into the hallowed-out pumpkins. Chill until ready to serve.
