Chocolate Éclair Squares

Day 3 of “12 Days of Baked Goods”

Last month, a group of us attended a harvest party at a winery where there was a LOT of wine being poured. When the 10 of us returned to our friends’ home, my friend Joan Gardner unpacked a dessert she’d made for the gang – chocolate éclair squares. She’s apparently seen a video of the dessert I’d shared on Facebook and made it. The recipe’s super simple to make YET, it’s decadent and a perfect ending to a boozy day.

This easy recipe would be perfect to make with the kids around the holidays!

Ingredients:

• 2 Instant Vanilla Pudding boxes
• 16-ounce container of Cool Whip
• 5-ounce box of Graham Crackers
• 16-ounce container of dark chocolate ready-made icing

Directions:

1. Line the bottom of a 13×9 baking dish with the Graham crackers.
2. Prepare pudding according to package directions. Add Cool Whip to the pudding and spread half the mixture on top of crackers.
3. Place another layer of crackers on top of the pudding mixture.
4. Spread the other half of pudding mixture on top of crackers and top with another layer of crackers.
5. Microwave the icing for 1 minute, stir then pour over the last cracker layer.
6. Refrigerate for 12 hours before serving.

Yields 12 servings.

Cheers,
