Eclairs are one of my favorite comfort foods. Admittedly this special dessert is not the healthiest thing you can ever put into your mouth. In fact by just reading about it you'll likely be able to hear your arteries begin to harden. However, everybody needs a little special something once in a while, right? So here is your comfort food special of the day. Eclair Dessert.

INGREDIENTS:

1 box of graham crackers
2 packages of instant vanilla pudding
3 cups of milk (whole, vitamin D fortified is best)
8-12 ounces of Cool Whip
1 can of chocolate frosting

PREPARATION:

Mix the pudding with the milk until it is well blended. Stir in the Cool Whip. Place a layer of graham crackers in the bottom of a 9 X 13 pan. Cover the bottom with 1/2 of the pudding/Cool Whip mixture. Cover this with the remainder of the pudding mixture. Place another layer of graham crackers on the pudding. Heat the frosting in your microwave until it is thin enough to pour and then pour it over the graham crackers, spread until completely covered. Refrigerate until the frosting is once again firm. **Best if made several hours ahead of the time you'll need it so the graham crackers have time to soften.

There you have it. Eclair Dessert. Now, go take a nap before all that sugar drops you like a hot rock.
