A stovetop, simpler version of chocolate (US) pudding:

2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup corn starch
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 3/4 cups milk
2 tablespoons margarine or butter (I leave this out and it's just as 
good)
1 teaspoon vanilla

In medium saucepan combine sugar, corn starch, cocoa and salt. 
Gradually stir in milk until smooth. 

Stirring constantly, bring to boil over medium heat and boil 1 
minute. Remove from heat. Stir in margarine and vanilla. 

Pour into serving bowls; cover; refrigerate.
 
Makes 2 cups 

Or, of course, buy packaged pudding and follow directions.  But this 
is cheaper and not much more complicated.  I make it often, and it 
counteracts the effects of Dementors admirably.
