Very good, easy. The only change I made was to use confectioners sugar instead of regular white sugar in the chocolate topping. The graham crackers absorb the pudding moisture, so it’s easy to serve.
Easy and delicious. Wouldn’t changa a thing!
We added mascoponi
This is a family favorite. I use french vanilla pudding but otherwise follow the recipe. It’s a great cool treat on a hot day
Made it as written. Loved it. First cut is hard to remove intact but the rest was great!
It was delicious. I could have eaten the while cake. I am going to try making a 9×9.
We just made this last night for the Super Bowl. It was a recipe we already had. It is very good. I noticed in the photo the graham crackers seemed regular not chocolate. Actually I’ve never seen chocolate ones. Either will be delicious. I already cut them up so as not to have to do it in front of company. The chocolate ganache gets a little stiff and cutting neatly is hard but taste great just the same.
Easy & delicious. Every time I’ve made this everyone loves it.
absolutely the easiest dessert to make and family loves it !!!
Easy. Love it
I have made this for years. I am now making it for my son’s restaurant. It is a big hit! I changed it up a little last time I made it and used Butterscotch Pudding, was also a big hit!
Ad a little bit of cinnamon so good thank you so much for this recipe
Love it! Used it for years! But I made some changes. I use French Vanilla pudding and I make my pudding layers thicker, less graham crackers. I also use regular crackers! It is much better this way! Everyone loves it!!
Delicious and easy! This is a great crowd-pleaser. I made only a few minor changes to this delightful recipe. I doubled the sauce because the first time I did this recipe I felt it needed more chocolate glaze. I bought regular graham crackers, and I used French Vanilla pudding. Use a whisk to mix the pudding, a spoon does not mix the milk and powder very well. Then fold in the cool whip. I did not have to butter the pan. Also, the chocolate topping was a bit grainy the first time I made it because of the granulated sugar. So, the next time I used a chocolate glaze recipe from another reviewer. I used 12 tb of butter, 12 tb of cocoa powder, 2.5 c. of powdered sugar, 4 tb of hot water and 2 tsp of vanilla. Much better!! Waiting over night makes all the difference. We ate it for Easter the following day and was well received by all! Thank you!
My family LOVES this recipe! My 11 year old son is a wiz at making it.
Yum soooooooo good!!!
I halved the recipe and made in an 8×8 pan. My suggestion is to not half the chocolate topping and use the full amount on the 8×8. I also used special infused butter in the chocolate topping for that little extra something. This was easy to make and tasty. I’d make this again!! Picture is what was left because we couldn’t wait to dig in!
Easy recipe. My store did not have chocolate graham crackers. So I used regular ones and drizzled chocolate syrup lightly over them. This was delicious
Super good! It’s easy, it’s creamy and there is never any left no matter where I take it.
I have celiac and HAVE to eaten gluten free. It is so very hard to find good desserts. I adapted this by substituting gluten free graham crackers, and it was actually good! Thank you for the recipe, but I beg you to please put more gluten free recipes in these emails you send. There are a lot of us celiacs out here. This gluten free diet is NOT a life style choice for us. We have to stay on it or get sick. Thanks again. Diane
This is such an easy and delicious dessert. It is great for a crowd.
