Layered with graham crackers, pudding and Kool Whip and topped with a chocolate sauce, this is a rich and filling dessert.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 1 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 (3 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 3 cups milk
  • 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 (16 ounce) package chocolate graham crackers
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1-teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation:

In a large bowl, combine pudding mix and 3 cups milk; mix well. Fold in whipped topping and beat with mixer for 2 minutes.

In a buttered 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a layer of graham crackers on the bottom of the dish. Spread 1/2 of the pudding mixture over crackers, then top with graham crackers. Spread remaining pudding over crackers; top second pudding layer with another layer of crackers.

To make topping: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine 1/4 cup milk, cocoa and sugar and allow to boil for 1 minute; remove from heat and add butter and vanilla. Mix well and cool.

Pour sauce over graham cracker layer and refrigerate until set; serve. - Kim, forum member
