Chocolate Rice Pudding

I've really been on a rice pudding kick lately - it's just so easy and one of the absolute best ways to use up left over rice - which is continually happening in my home...maybe it's an accident, maybe it's a ploy so that I can create more rice pudding variations ^^

Ingredients/Directions:
In a small pot combine 1 1/2 cups cooked Rice, 1 1/2 cups Milk, 1/3 cups Sugar (brown or white will do) and 1/4 tsp. Salt. Cook over medium heat until thick and creamy, 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together 3 Tbsp. Cocoa Powder and 1/2 cup Milk add to the thick and creamy rice pudding mixture and cook an additional minute. Before serving remove from heat and stir in 1 Tbsp. Butter,  1/2 tsp. Vanilla and a Handful of Chocolate Chips or a few Hershey's Dark Kisses, stir so they melt just a little before spooning into serving dishes and enjoying with a mug of hot tea and a good book (I had rooibos and sat down to read The Help)
