Chocolate Surprise

Faith Fraizer Clotiaux (originally from Susan Wilson)
Yield: 12 servings


I got this recipe from my neighbor, Susan Wilson, around 1998 and it became an instant hit with our family, so it quickly became one of my go-to desserts for gatherings too. (Dec 1999)

1 box graham crackers

Filling
2 (3.4oz) boxes instant French Vanilla pudding
1 (8 z) tub Cool Whip
3 1/4 cups milk

Icing
1 square of unsweetened chocolate
3 Tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla
2 Tbsp milk
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar


Combine filling ingredients. Then, in 9x13-inch pan, lay down a layer of whole graham crackers, then half of the filling. Add another layer of whole graham crackers, then spread remaining filling and top with last layer whole graham crackers. 

Icing: Melt the square of unsweetened chocolate with butter, vanilla, milk and powdered sugar. Spread icing on last layer of graham crackers. Refrigerate overnight.
