I have been hearing about an old fashioned dessert called "Icebox cake"...made of graham crackers and pudding and I guess it tastes fantastic. So I thought I would hunt down a recipe and give it a try. To be honest it didn't sound like it would be that great...but was I wrong! I made this dessert on Sunday night ( recipe suggested to keep in fridge for 2-3 days) and on Tuesday we had it with everyone..they loved it and so did I!
THELMA'S CHOCOLATE ECLAIR
1/2 box (8 oz.) graham crackers
2 pkg. (3.4 oz. each) instant vanilla pudding
3 1/2 cups milk
1 (8oz.) cool whip
2 squares (1 oz. each) semisweet chocolate
2 T. butter
1 tsp. light corn syrup
3 T. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1 -1/2 cups confections sugar
Cover bottom of 13x 9 baking pan with whole graham crackers, set aside. Combine pudding mixes and milk. fold in cool whip. Spread over graham crackers. Top with another layer of crackers. In a saucepan, melt chocolate and butter. Remove from the heat and add remaining ingredients. Spread over top graham cracker layer. Cover and refrigerate. Dessert is best made 2-3 days ahead of time. Yield: 12-15 servings.

i could finish half of that if you don't mind :)
This sounds absolutely delicious and doesn't seem too difficult to make. The hardest part for me will be waiting the 2-3 days. :) I'll have to try that some time. I just love chocolate and graham crackers. Thanks for posting the recipe.
I'm happy to see this recipe! Reminds me of a certain favorite Italian restaurant of mine...
2-3 days? Who can wait that long to eat it? Did you wait? Is the timing so the flavors blend or just for torture's sake?
