I do not know about you but I am a huge fan of rice pudding. Plain rice, not so much. Perhaps it has something to do with the sugar and the cream?
I am not sure but I actually think it has something to do with fond memories. I always associate chocolate rice and rice pudding with my grandmother.
Now this is not chocolate rice. Chocolate rice, believe it or not was a diet, back in the 70’s. You would take rice, cocoa powder, and some sort of sweetener, (I think Sweet and Low liquid) and sprinkle a few drops on.
Voila, chocolate rice! Whenever my grandmother wanted to loose a few pounds she went on the chocolate rice diet.
I just made this recipe up today, but you can use your own rice pudding recipe and just add candy bars and you will have a similar dessert.
