Ingredients

  • 2 (3 ounce) packages French vanilla instant pudding
  • 3 cups milk
  • 8 ounces Cool Whip
  • graham cracker
  • 2 baking chocolate squares
  • 1 tablespoon Crisco
  • 4 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 teaspoons Karo syrup
  • 1 12 cups powdered sugar

Method

  • Blend the pudding mixes with milk, and then add the Cool Whip and gently stir together.
  • Place one layer of the graham crackers in the bottom of a 9x13" pan.
  • Pour half of the pudding mix over this.
  • Lay another layer of crackers into the dish.
  • Pour the rest of the pudding mix on.
  • Melt the baking squares of chocolate and stir together with the Crisco.
  • (This recipe originally called for 2 envelopes of Choco-bake which I can't find anymore.)
  • Add the milk, vanilla, syrup and powdered sugar to the chocolate and mix until smooth.
  • Lay the third layer of graham crackers over the pudding, and then pour the chocolate mixture over all.
  • Smooth it over the whole dish.
  • Refrigerate overnight, or at least 8-12 hours, covered with plastic wrap.
  • Do not make and serve immediately as it will not be the same -- it needs time to blend together.
