Method
 

Build Chocolate Crunch and Elvis Pudding Cups Step by Step
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Pudding Base: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, HERSHEYS Cocoa, cornstarch, and salt until well combined. Gradually add the milk while whisking to avoid any lumps. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Add Flavor: Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until melted and smooth. Divide this chocolate pudding mixture into two separate bowls—one for the Elvis Pudding Cups and one for the Chocolate Crunch Pudding Cups.
  3. Step 3: Prepare the Elvis Pudding: In the bowl designated for the Elvis Pudding Cups, add the heated peanut butter and mix until fully incorporated. This will give your pudding a delightful nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with the chocolate.
  4. Step 4: Assemble the Elvis Pudding Cups: Layer the Elvis pudding into serving cups. Top each cup with whipped cream, a sprinkle of dried banana chips, shaved chocolate, and finish off with a HERSHEYS Milk Chocolate Bar with Almonds square on top.
  5. Step 5: Prepare the Chocolate Crunch Pudding: For the Chocolate Crunch Pudding Cups, simply pour the chocolate pudding mixture into the serving cups.
  6. Step 6: Assemble the Chocolate Crunch Pudding Cups: Top each cup with whipped cream, a HERSHEYS KISSES Chocolate, a sprinkle of HERSHEYS Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips, and a handful of granola for that satisfying crunch.
  7. Step 7: Chill and Serve: Place all pudding cups in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to chill and set. When ready to serve, enjoy these delightful desserts with family and friends!
