My sister made this goodie during our visit to Fl. at Christmas. I thought it was really good & evidently so did everyone else. I only ate 1 piece as it was devoured. She got the recipe off All Recipes but changed it a bit. She also thinks it would be even better with some more of the milk chocolate frosting on the middle layer of graham crackers. I liked it just as it was. You do need to let it set for a few hours before eating so the mixture can soften the graham crackers. Enjoy if you try it.

I love this dessert!
The recipe I have doesn't use canned frosting on top. Instead, the topping is made with:

The recipe I have doesn't use canned frosting on top. Instead, the topping is made with:
1/3 c. unsweetened cocoa powder1 c. sugar1/4 c. milk1 stick (1/2 c.) butter1 tsp. vanillaBring cocoa, milk, and sugar to full rolling boil; boil about 1 minute, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and cool one minute. Add butter and vanilla; stir until butter is melted.I also make it with real whipped cream and cook & serve pudding (cooled) just because I like the flavor of them better. The whole thing can be assembled ahead of time and chilled.
My sister had a recipe similar to the above with a homemade frosting but decided to try the canned frosting. She knew she would be really busy with all the company & meals to prepare. I asked her how are you going to get that frosting to spread on top? She put it in the microwave & it made it easy to spread. I would imagine with homemade whipped topping & fresh made frosting it would be even better. I don't think I have ever ate any cook & serve pudding. I have always used the instant. She had so many pies, cakes & candy. She always makes too much food. Plus my other sister brought over goodies. I love sweets but at the moment I'm sick of them. LOL!!! I ate a lot of strawberries, watermelon & pineapple when I was there. Wish the fruit I buy here was as good as the fruit they had in Fl. Thanks for sharing another Chocolate Éclair recipe.

I agree with Lynn, but the other way is tasty too and super quick. I like the smooth, silky chocolate ganache!

ITA. Chocolate Ganache would be so much better. When I eat a goodie if I don't care for it I don't eat it. I'd rather use my calories on something really good.
