Hot Chocolate Rice Pudding

Again with the rice pudding, I know, I have an addiction...

My name is Lisa, and I am a rice pudding addict.

But really, it is such a simple and tasty treat, that I can't help but make it often, and tinker with it to make different variations, like this festive Hot Chocolate Rice Pudding, which is perfect for your holiday merrymaking.

Hot Chocolate Rice Pudding

Ingredients:

1 1/2 c. rice (cooked)
2 c. milk (divided)
1/3 c. hot chocolate mix
1/4 c. sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg
1 Tbs butter
1 tsp vanilla

Directions:

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine rice, sugar, hot chocolate mix, salt, and 1 1/2 cups of the milk. Cook 15-20 minutes or until thick and creamy. Beat the egg in the measuring cup with the remaining 1/2 cup milk and add to the saucepan, cook an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
