Choco.Eclair "cake"- EZ

I served this the one night with friends- they LOVED it!
Light and creamy and so good!It's really simple to do in just 15 minutes... made it the night before so it'd be chilled by the next day!

Serves 12-15...unless you have big eaters
(4 of use killed half of it!)

2 (3.4 oz.) Packages of French Vanilla instant pudding
3 cups milk for the pudding
8 oz. whipped topping
1 (12oz) package of graham crackers

chocolate topping
3 tablespoons milk
6 tablespoons butter
2 ( 1oz.) squares of semi-sweet Chocolate
1 3/4 cups confectioner's sugar

Procedure
1. Combine pudding mix with 3 cups milk and follow mixing instructions on package.Add whipped toppin. Beat with electric mixer set at medium speed until blended.

2. Arrange a layer of graham crackers in the bottom of a 13x9inch dish.Spread half the pudding mix. Add a second layer of graham crackers. Spread remaining pudding mix. Top with another layer of graham crackers
( personal note: I tried to do this without broken ones...keep the whole pieces for the top as it's easier to spread the chocolate. Bottom and middle- it really doesn't matter if they're broken!)

3. CHOCOLATE TOPPING =Place confectioner's sugar in medium bowl- set aside. In small saucepan, combine the butter and chocolate. Cook over low heat, stirring frequesntly, until the chocolate melts. Stir in the 3 tablespoons of milk.

4.Add chocolate mixture to the bowl of coneftioner's sugar. Beat with an electric mixer set at medium speed until icing is a spreadable consistency. Spread over prepared layers/top layer of graham crackers. Chill, covered, for 8 hours.
cut into squares and serve.....(the cutting into squares is easier said then done..lol)

PS. icing short cut. use prepared chocolate frosting -spoon it into a bowl and add milk 1 teaspoon at at time until the mixture is a thin spreadable consistency
