Sounds delish
Pudding is one of the easiest things to prepare from scratch, along with pancakes. I don't get it.
Yes easy to make and
quick to spoil
The link was to alert consumers that even with proper refrigeration the chocolate can spoil under the surface. Making the two bacteria mentioned in the article more likely.
Your link says that the bacteria is actually most likely present in the milk used to make the pudding, not in the pudding mix.
The bacteria degrade the DYE used to make the pudding brown, in and of itself not an indication of spoilage. However it is an indication that conditions are ripe for bacterial growth in general, which would be a concern.

All of my recipes for home made pudding require scalding of the milk - i.e. killing any contaminants that might be present in the ingredients. The no-cook instant puddings, with whatever miracle coagulants they contain, are by definition not requiring the heating of the items in the recipe.
Ergo, make your own pudding from real ingredients, not relying on the "wonders" of chemical foods = no need to worry about Dr. Seuss' pudding with a side of food poisoning.

Lol. If it was green, but not spoiled, I don’t think I’d eat it!
I don’t mind scraping a little mold off of my hard cheeses, and using milk past the sell date, but I draw the line at green chocolate pudding!

The regular boxed pudding requires a boil (I despise the instant stuff) so it should not be an issue either.
