Chocolate Eclair Torte

 

Ingredients

• 2 individual packages graham crackers
• 2 (3 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
• 3 cups milk
• 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

For frosting:

• 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
• 2 Tablespoons butter 
• 2 Tablespoons white corn syrup 
• 3 Tablespoons of milk 
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 ½ cup powdered sugar.

Directions

1. Line the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan with graham crackers. In a large bowl, combine pudding mix and milk. Stir well. Stir in whipped topping to pudding mixture. Spread half of mixture over graham cracker layer. Top with another layer of graham crackers and the remaining pudding. Top all with a final layer of graham crackers. Refrigerate for about two hours before you frost it.

To make the frosting:

Melt chocolate, butter, corn syrup and milk. Stir in vanilla and sugar. Spread on top of dessert once it's been in the refrigerator for about two hours (it will make it easier to spread the frosting). Refrigerate for at least 8 more hours before serving
