Peanut Butter Chocolate Eclair Cake



Flip it!

So easy and fast, have made many times exactly as recipe is written, have yet to have someone not love it. Am constantly asked for recipe 🙂

This is differently a summer dessert to die for! I happened to pick up French Vanilla pudding by mistake and used it instead of Vanilla. My husband suggested we add AMARETTO. I added one shot. It’ was great, not too much, just a hint. I suggest using a deep pan. There’s a lot of pudding mix. This is a go to dessert in my house now!

Spray bottom of 9 x13 pan with cooking spray. Line the bottom of the pan with whole graham crackers. In a bowl using an electric mixer, mix pudding with milk, peanut butter; beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Fold in whipped topping. Pour half the pudding mixture over graham crackers. Place another layer of whole graham crackers on top of pudding layer.

Pour over remaining half of pudding mixture and cover with another layer of graham crackers. Heat the container of prepared frosting, uncovered for 1 minute. Pour over top of cake. Refrigerate for at least 12 hours before serving!
