Chocolate Eclair Dessert

I have a recipe from the recipe cards from a long time ago, Chocolate Eclair Dessert, but didn't have time to type the whole thing out for my friend. So I came here to get it and it's not here... Any chance of it coming back? Bummer! --JoAnn
Hi JoAnn, Oh my, that’s a yummy one!  I’ll get the picture and recipe up in the recipe section soon, but for now, here’s the recipe:  Chocolate Eclair Dessert We could always make room for this light, creamy dessert. Preparation time: 20 minutes Chilling time: 8 hours Serves 12 to 15  2 (3.4-ounce) packages French vanilla instant pudding mix 3 cups plus 3 tablespoons milk, divided 8 ounces whipped topping 1 (12-ounce) package graham crackers 6 tablespoons butter 2 (1-ounce) squares semisweet chocolate 1 3/4 cups confectioners’ sugar 1. Combine pudding mix and 3 cups milk in a large bowl. Prepare instant pudding using package directions. Add whipped topping. Beat with an electric mixer set at medium speed until blended. 2. Arrange a layer of  graham crackers in bottom of a 13 x 9-inch dish. Spread with half the pudding mixture. Add a second layer of the graham crackers. Spread with remaining pudding mixture. Top with another layer of graham crackers. 3. Combine the butter and chocolate in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until the chocolate melts. Stir in remaining milk. 4. Place confectioners’ sugar in a medium bowl. Add chocolate mixture. Beat with an electric mixer set at medium speed until icing is a spreadable consistency. Spread over prepared layers. Chill, covered, for 8 hours. Cut into squares and serve on dessert plates. Grandma’s Secret Tip Rich, homemade chocolate icing really makes this dessert, but when time was short, Grandma sometimes used prepared chocolate frosting. She spooned it into a bowl and stirred it, adding milk 1 teaspoon at a time, until the mixture was a thin spreadable consistency.

    Hi Grandma

    I've been looking for a good recipe to make sticky buns - perhaps I'm just not looking under the right word, but I'm not finding a recipe. Could you help me? I love your recipes... and, since I never knew my grandmother, you are a wonderful addition to my family! :)

    I was wondering if you by chance have a recipe for homemade maple syrup. I thought it might come in handy if someday we ran out of storebought and couldn't make it to a store, especially due to bad weather. Thank you.

    Hi! Do you have any tips on how to properly bake pies? The problem I’m having is that though the top crust is nice and golden, the bottom crust stays soft. How can I make both the top and bottom pie crust perfect?
