Really? Just 5 mins? You must read my mind today. We were done with dinner (about 4 hours ago), and we had no dessert wondering what we can eat…but nothing. I’m taking a memo and put this on my fridge. 😉

Cannot wait to try this. Anytime I can pause my DVR and come back in 15 minutes, at most, with freshly made pudding, I am one happy couch potato.

Yes, I have that craving at least three times a week. My husband and I laugh and always say we wish there was a Dessert delivery service so we could just order up a chocolate souffle or something. This sounds like the perfect answer to our dessert desires. 🙂

  A Dessert Delivery Service – now that is a good idea! They could make it more worth while by adding a variety of coffees too. That would be fun. 🙂

Are both mugs microwaved, together or one at a time. Since I do not anticipate a response in the next few plu 5 minutes, I will be nuking them both in the on nuking at suggested time parameters, eagerly watching every second of cooking time and the aroma therapy!
