GREAT reviews from co-workers. I took this to a bbq at work. It was all gone! I followed the ingredients to a T. I brushed my graham crackers with milk to make them moist. I also nuked the frosting for about 40sec to make it easy to spread. This is wayyyy too easy to make for how good it tastes. One coworker from another office said i need to bring this next time im up there! THANKS FOR SHARING. Super quick, cheap and easy! will def make again. (i would have taken a pic but it was all gone)

This was delicious! I made it for the holidays and used the chocolate graham crackers. Updated: Made this again using regular graham crackers for 4th of July. As another reviewer from a similar recipe suggested, I was short on time so I quickly dipped the graham crackers in milk before layering them in the pan (use a small dredging dish or a plate w/ a lip). This allowed the cake to be ready to cut shortly within 2 hours (perhaps even sooner!) after preparing. Updated again! I have made this several times and found that I always need to use just about a full box of graham crackers. Perhaps it's my pan (I'm using one of those metal cake pans w/ matching metal lid that slides on). Also - be sure to melt your "milk chocolate" frosting tub (foil removed) in the microwave for about 30-40 seconds and then just pour it over the top. It will harden nicely once refrigerated. If you're looking for a super quick dish - that's tasty and inexpensive - this one is for you. You can make this dish using ingredients purchased at Aldi or Walmart for under $5!

I tweaked the recipe, replaced the graham crackers with crushed oreo and the vanilla pudding mix with chocolate pudding mix. The result was marvelous! I also put 2 tbsp of cocoa powder into the mixture to make it more chocolate-y. I used this recipe as a dirt cake for my mom's birthday.

Yummy dessert! My entire extended family loved, especially the kids. I made two - one with vanilla pudding, the other with cream cheese pudding. Both were delicious. Enjoy!

I have been making this exact recipe (minus the can frosting, see my frosting recipe below) for almost twenty years now. This is a great make ahead dessert to take for gatherings because you really do have to make this the night before or it won't taste right and allow the graham crackers to become soft. Try using chocolate graham cracker and French Vanilla or Cheesecake pudding! **If you have the time, make this chocolate sauce (It is a dead on ringer for Outback's chocolate sauce.) Mix 1/3 cup cocoa, 1 cup sugar in sauce pan. Add 1 teasp vanilla, 1 stick butter, 1/4 cup milk. Boil for 1 minute, then set aside to cool.

This is a very good recipe. I used Whipping Cream instead of cool whip. This recipe serves more then you would expect. I'm in a family of 6, and we can usually clean up a 13 x 9 inch pan. But this recipe is rich enough that we only ate half of that!

Easy, quick, and delicious. I made my chocolate topping instead of using frosting and it turned out wonderfully. Thanks for the recipe.

Very good! Always a hit with everyone. The only thing I do different is use French Vanilla pudding and I use milk chocolate frosting mix. 30 seconds in the microwave (foil removed) and then I pour it onto the dessert. I do let the dessert set up for about 15 minutes or so in the fridge before adding the frosting. We will be making this again and again!

I like to use either french vanilla or white chocolate pudding mix in mine, and I prefer to use nutella - the frosting is just too sweet for me. (Of course the nutella isn't LOL) Fantastic recipe for something that is so easy and quick to whip up!

this was soooo easy to make. My husband and kids can't get enough. I made it in a 9x9 and used french vanilla pudding and lite cool whip. I can't wait to make this again.

I don't understand the "eclair" part of this dessert. Maybe if it had another name I might like it better, but probably not. The simple flavors were just that, simple. Like another reviewer said, it just tasted like graham crackers and vanilla pudding. Not that special. I had a variation of this that combined one package of vanilla pudding and one package of coconut pudding, and it just didn't quite work, either. This might be a fun recipe to do with my kids, because it is so easy, but definitely not something I would serve to guests.

Made this with the homemade chocolate sauce suggestion. The sauce was good but too fudge-like for my gang. Next time I'll try the prepackaged frosting. Tasted more like a melted ice cream sandwhich or a smores bar than a chocolate eclair but still overall a great dish.

Tempted to give this only 4 stars, because the recipe really should say to make this 24 hrs. ahead of time. It's magic how time makes it taste so much better! Tastes WONDERFUL and is so easy, I had to go with 5 stars!
