I used to love going to the bakery and picking up a chocolate eclair. The combination of chocolate and pudding was so delicious!
My friend Barb gave me this recipe years ago and I love to serve it to company. It reminds me of the bakery eclairs I looked forward to as a kid.
The recipe calls for layers which sound like a lot of detail but once you get started it goes fast.
The closer you can line the graham crackers the easier it is to spread the pudding mixture and frosting.
I hope you enjoy this dessert as much as I do.
