Filling and layers
- 1 box graham crackers 14.4 oz
- 2 boxes instant vanilla pudding mix 3.4 oz each
- 3 cups cold milk
- 1 tub whipped topping 8 oz.
Topping
- 1 can chocolate frosting 16 oz.
INSTRUCTIONS
Mix and assemble
- whisk pudding mix with cold milk for 2 minutes until thickened
- fold in whipped topping until smooth
- spread a single layer of graham crackers in a 9x13 inch pan
- spread half the pudding mixture evenly over crackers
- add a second layer of graham crackers
- spread remaining pudding mixture
- finish with a third layer of graham crackers.
Top and chill
- microwave frosting 10 to 15 seconds until just pourable then spread evenly over the top cracker layer
- cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours and preferably overnight to soften the crackers
- slice into bars and serve chilled.
Notes
1. Chill overnight for clean slices and soft eclair like layers; substitute homemade whipped cream for whipped topping in equal volume; use chocolate ganache instead of frosting by warming 1 cup heavy cream and stirring in 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips; for easier spreading warm frosting briefly and work quickly; store covered in the refrigerator up to 4 days
