Recipes: sugar free hot cocoa and pudding

Have a new recipe for pudding that is healthy and doesn't have aspratame or sugar wanna-be's.  I used Stevia and it's in a class all it's own.  Love the stuff.  I am so thrilled.  I'm have the hot cocoa recipe as well tonight for my birthday treat.   It won't keep me up late with a sugar rush.  Sugar is not bad... we need it to rise yeast, and it's fun every once in a while, but I have been off the stuff for a while and feel free.....free to choose and feel like myself with out needing to have a soda or pop a candy ( the candy being my old preference).  Try this out!  I found these online and tweaked the sugar.

Vanilla Pudding Mix:

3 cups nonfat dry milk
Stevia (8 tbps. for 4 c. sugar)

Mix all except the vanilla, and store in an airtight container.
