In a medium saucepan, whish together the milk, cocoa powder, syrup, and salt.
Bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes, whisking often.
Turn heat to low and add gelatin. Immediately and vigorously whisk for 1-2 minutes, until lumps are gone and pudding is smooth.
Turn off the heat and stir in the vanilla.
Pour into individual covered serving containers and chill for 2 or so hours before serving. Will last 4-5 days in the fridge... but good luck with that.
