Servings 15 slices

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix Do not use cook-and-serve
  • 3 cups Whole Milk Cold
  • 8 oz Whipped Topping Thawed
  • 16 oz Honey Graham Crackers About 1 box
  • 16 oz Chocolate Frosting 1 standard tub

Instructions
 

  • Mix the filling: In a large bowl, whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk together for 2 minutes until thickened. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until fully combined and smooth.
  • First layer: Arrange a single layer of graham crackers across the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Break pieces to fit any gaps.
  • Add pudding: Spread exactly half of the pudding mixture evenly over the graham crackers.
  • Second layer: Add another single layer of graham crackers, followed by the remaining half of the pudding mixture.
  • Third layer: Top with a third and final layer of graham crackers.
  • Frosting: Remove the lid and foil seal from the chocolate frosting tub. Microwave for 15-20 seconds until easily pourable. Pour evenly over the top layer of crackers and spread smooth with a spatula.
  • Chill: Cover the dish tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. For the best cake-like texture, chill overnight.
  • Serve: Slice into squares, serve cold, and enjoy!
