I had never made eclairs before this recipe, and they still turned out perfect! It was really easy to follow, and my family loved them (didnt last long!) **cutting the slit in the sides part way through made all the difference** thanks for the great recipe, will be made again for sure!

These were super easy to make and cooked up very well. The icing was great.Will change the filling to vanilla pudding next time as it was alot of chocolate.

I was disappointed in this recipe. I followed the recipe exactly for the pastry, and they did not rise at all. The spread dough rectangles cooked into flat rectangles. I put the pudding on them anyway to try and salvage the mess of a pastry it became, and even the kids didn't want more than one. Bummer.

These were good but a filling of light white creme would have perhaps been better. My pastries were very light (which is good!) but when the dark filling absorbed a bit it made them look heavy. With the chocolate on top, the filling makes the eclair pretty rich. My guests liked them but next time I'll switch out the filling for something that's non-chocolate.

These Eclairs were great! They tasted just like something straight from the bakery, my family loved them!

I didn't really like these. It was almost as if they were over cooked on the outside and under cooked on the inside. They had a strange taste to them too, not like store bought eclaires. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened. I really liked the icing though.

The Eclair part didn't really work right, some fluffed up and some didn't. I didn't like the flavor very much eather they were a bit eggy, they tasted a little like yorkshire pudding. Gave them four stars because others in house liked them.

I just added 1 cup of milk to the chocolate pudding and then 1 cup of whipped topping. They were great!

i only made the wonderful frosting to spread overtop the "chocolate eclair cake" (also on this website) because i preferred not to use the store bought variety. thanks cindy, sometime i'll make your entire recipe, it looks divine!

Everyone loved them. They thought I bought them somewhere. I wouldn't change a thing. However, when I read the miniature I thought they would be smaller. (Not that I am complaining mind you)

This is exactly what I was looking for! I followed the recipe exactly in making the pastry. It is so soft and moist, just like the ones you buy in the pastry shops. Everyone loved it! Thanks! Edit: I used this recipe together with Pastry Cream recipe and they both complemented each other very well!

It was delicious and fairly easy to make. I just had a little trouble getting them into small half inch loaves. I recommend using a pastry dispenser.

I used instant pudding, and instead of slicing the eclair in half and filling with pudding, I punched a small hole in the side and spooned the pudding inside. A very fancy dessert!

I made these today for our Sunday dessert. They were quite easy to make ahead of time and keep in the refrigerator. I don't really see why you need to use non-instant pudding instead of the pre-made packaged one. I was surprised that the pastry part came out light and crispy. I'll try these again when we have company.
