Super Bowl Dessert - Chocolate Eclair Cake


I first had this dessert at a Sunday school party and we were all trying to guess the ingredients. I almost fell over when I found out the secret layer was graham crackers...it really transforms into something so much more rich and decadent than what the ingredients indicate. It has RAVE reviews on allrecipes. The best thing is that you have to make it 24 hours ahead of time - so you can get this dessert out of the way early!

Chocolate Eclair Cake
Ingredients:
2 (3.4 ounce) packages instant vanilla
pudding mix
1 cup confectioners' sugar
3 cups milk
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped
topping, thawed
1 (16 ounce) box graham crackers
1 (16 ounce) container chocolate frosting

Directions:1.In a large bowl, combine pudding mix and confectioners' sugar. Whisk in milk until mixture is smooth, then gradually fold in whipped topping.
2.Place a layer of graham crackers in the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan. Spread 1/2 of pudding mixture over crackers. Cover pudding with another layer of graham crackers. Continue layering until pudding mixture is gone. Cover last pudding layer with another layer of graham crackers.
3.Remove lid and seal from frosting and microwave at 20 second intervals, stirring between intervals, until frosting is pourable (about 1 minute). Spread frosting evenly over top layer of graham crackers. MUST Refrigerate 24 hours before serving.
