Chocolate Eclair Dessert

Have you ever had a layered eclair dessert? If not, you have truly missed out! This is one of my favorite desserts and it is so simple to make...and it's no bake! I make mine slightly different than some that I have had in the past. I use 2 types of pudding instead of 1, but you certainly don't have to do that. Layers of pudding and Cool Whip, graham crackers and a chocolate sauce make up this perfect summertime treat.

This is one of those desserts that looks like it took awhile to make, but it doesn't. Curious? Read on...
