Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 boxes (3.4 oz each) Instant vanilla pudding mix
- 3 cups Milk
- 1 container (8 oz) Whipped topping (thawed)
- 1 box (approximately 14.4 oz) Graham crackers
- 1 container (16 oz) Pre-made chocolate frosting
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk until smooth and thickened, about 2 minutes.
Fold the whipped topping into the prepared pudding mixture until evenly combined. Set aside.
In a 9x13 inch baking dish, arrange a single layer of graham crackers to cover the bottom of the dish completely. Break crackers as needed to fit.
Spread half of the pudding mixture evenly over the graham crackers.
Add another layer of graham crackers on top of the pudding mixture.
Spread the remaining pudding mixture over the second layer of graham crackers.
Finish with a final layer of graham crackers on top.
Remove the lid and foil from the chocolate frosting container, and microwave the frosting for 15-20 seconds, or until it is soft and spreadable. Add the butter to the frosting and stir until smooth.
Gently spread the warmed chocolate frosting evenly over the entire top layer of graham crackers.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow the graham crackers to soften and the flavors to meld.
Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy!
