Chocolate tapioca pearls pudding

I have waited a long before posting this recipe because in Albania is very difficult to find tapioca pearls. Luckily I have found them at Baronesha, a new supermarket in Tirana and now I can share my recipe with you. I had planned to write it down last week but I got an allergy ( yeah, allergies happen also during fall season) so I had to postpone it.

This recipe does not require any thickening agent like starch, since they are literally starch balls made from cassava root.

So lets get to the recipe:
