    <directions>1.  In a medium, heavy bottomed saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, cocoa, and salt.  Combine half-and-half, milk, and vanilla in a bowl.  Whisk 1 cup of the liquid with the dry ingredients until cornstarch is completely dissolved.  Whisk in remaining liquid.

2. Place saucepan over medium heat.  Cook, whisking constantly, until mixture comes to a boil and thickens, about 4-5 minutes.  Add chocolate, and cook, whisking until the chocolate is melted, about 1 minute.  Remove from heat and whisk in butter until melted.  Pour pudding into six dessert cups.  It can be eaten warm (best) or refrigerate until completely set, about 1 hour.</directions>
