Ingredients

  • 2 packages (3.4 oz each) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 1 container (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 box (14.4 oz) honey graham crackers
  • 1 container (16 oz) ready-to-spread chocolate frosting
  • 1/4 cup pastel sprinkles
  • 1/2 cup candy -coated chocolate eggs

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk for approximately 2 minutes until thickened.
  • Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the pudding mixture using a spatula until well combined.
  • Arrange a single layer of honey graham crackers in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Spread half of the pudding mixture evenly over the graham cracker layer.
  • Add a second layer of graham crackers over the pudding.
  • Spread the remaining pudding mixture over the second layer of crackers.
  • Top with a third and final layer of graham crackers.
  • Microwave the chocolate frosting for 20-30 seconds until it reaches a pourable consistency.
  • Pour the warm frosting over the top layer of crackers and smooth with an offset spatula.
  • Garnish the top with pastel sprinkles and candy-coated chocolate eggs while the frosting is still wet.
  • Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the crackers to soften into a cake-like texture.
