This dessert truly is delightful. It's impressive and pleases all ages. I made it for a group of friends last night--they all loved it. I even made it with lite whipped topping, low fat graham crackers, and sugar free pudding. The icing I did make from scratch and made a one and half recipe of the frosting. It is key to make this ahead of time so the graham crackers soften up, making a nice moist crust. I'll make this for several up-coming events!

Took this to a Mother's Day picnic. Everyone raved about this! In fact, by the time I went to get a piece, the whole entire thing was gone! I guess I'll take that as a sign that it was delicious and very worth all 5 stars.

Increased the chocolate topping by one and a half and it still was not enough. I used confectioners' sugar and it still turned out grainy due to the cocoa powder. I would advise others to look up a different recipe for the topping. Otherwise it was delicious and very easy to make.

Update: My review is late coming, but wanted to let others know that subbing Bailey's for even a small amount of milk DID NOT WORK AT ALL!!!! I wanted to make a "tiramisu" falvored eclair cake to go with Christmas Eve dinner, but dissapointingly, my dish did not turn out. I don't know why either. What an excellent recipe!!!! A co-worker mentioned something similar to me, and when I saw this, I knew I had to give it a try. I took this dish to a friends Bar-B-Q / cookout. They absolutely loved it! I didn't care for the glaze, though. Mine turned out a bit grainy, and, due to being kept in the fridge (I refrigerated for several hours before serving - definitely a must b/c it softens the graham crackers and makes the dish taste more like a true eclair that way), it hardened on top. I think I might incorporate other's suggestions next time in order to make the glaze more palatable (i.e. use less sugar or confectioner's sugar instead of granulated sugar, etc.). I think 1.5 times the amount of glaze IS necessary (per other reviews) - the recipe as is does not yeild enough to evenly spread over the top graham cracker layer. I used plain ("honey") graham crackers and prefer them over the cinnamon variety. I am thinking of trying this with a can of chocolate frosing and with a little Bailey's in lieu of the milk for a "tiramisu" style dessert as another reviewer mentioned. YUM, YUM!

This is wonderful! My grandmother used to make this cake for my brother when we were little. All 3 of my kids (ages 8, 6 and 4) loved it! So did the rest of my family. My dad ate about 1/4 of it alone! I agree w/other writers though; do your self a favor and make the frosting. Also, I used vanilla & Fr. Van. pudding. I made the frosting first and while it was cooling down I made the rest of the cake. I put it in our fridge that we have downstairs (yes, I am blessed to have 2! :-) which I believe is set a little cooler than my other one so it stayed together beautifully when served! YUMMMMMMMYYY!!!

This is really good. I made it for my mom's birthday in July as she is a fan of eclairs with real pudding in the center and she loves this. I thought it presented well as I used a glass 9 X13 and I guess you could use a fancy glass bowl as well. A really nice polished looking top! Thanks for sharing.

This is a great and really simple recipe. It's not the most elegant, but I suppose it depends on how you serve it. I used sugar free pudding, and it balanced well with the sweetness of the chocolate syrup. Next time I'm going to try using Splenda in the chocolate. It's a light and sweet dessert, but not overwhelmingly so, if you use the sugar free pudding and light cool whip. I froze half the concoction and put half in the fridge, at the recommendation of other reviewers. Personally, I prefer the refrigerated recipe only because it's soft like a real eclair.

This is a favorite with my family. I usually freeze it and serve it frozen or semi-frozen. I recently served it at a Super Bowl party. 1 guest commented that she had never eaten it frozen but thought it was much better that way. I have made it with as many light or sugar-free ingredients as possible and still think it is great.

This is the easiest dessert to make. It's so simple that you don't expect it to taste as good as it does. It tastes just like chocolate eclair. I will make this again.

The recipe I have is very close to this one. only difference is you use confectioners sugar and don't cook the topping. I made it in 2 smaller pans so I can bring one to a friends house and have one for home. worked good.

Made this for Christmas Eve dinner and my husband's family loved it. I used honey graham crackers instead of the chocolate graham crackers though. The only small "fault" I found was that the glaze tasted a tiny bit grainy. If I were to make it again, I would probably try using confectioners sugar instead of granulated sugar. The pudding filling was wonderful!

Sinfully Rich!!! Everyone in my family LOVES this recipe. I make it up the night before i plan to serve it, so the grahmn crackers soften a bit! I've also used the chocolate grahmn cracker sticks, it makes it easier to serve up! Perfect for a chocolate fix, you'll be surprised how quickly it dissapears.

My family loves this cake, we make it for every birthday. We have found that it turns out best using brand name ingredients, because some graham crackers don't turn out right.
