Instructions
- Add granulated sugar and salt to a cold small saucepan.

- Place saucepan over medium-high heat and whisk continuously until mixture begins to steam.
- Before the mixture reaches a boil, add the chopped dark chocolate.
- Continue stirring, switching to a rubber spatula, until the chocolate melts and the pudding thickens to a bubbling consistency.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract until well combined.
- Divide the pudding evenly among 4 serving dishes.
- Place plastic wrap directly on the surface of each pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
