⭐8 oz of thawed Cool Whip;
⭐16 chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

INSTRUCTIONS For No Bake Peanut Butter Eclair Cake:
⭐Beat the vanilla pudding mix and milk together in a large mixing basin until no lumps remain.
⭐Add peanut butter and beat until smooth.
⭐Set aside after folding in the Cool Whip.
⭐Arrange six graham crackers in a 9-inch-square baking dish.
⭐Place half of the pudding mix on top
⭐Add the diced Reese’s PB cups and six additional crackers on top. Add the remaining pudding mix on top.
⭐Finally, sprinkle the final six graham crackers on top.
⭐To make the frosting, place a small saucepan over medium heat and combine unsweetened chocolate, butter, and corn syrup. Blend until silky.
⭐Take off the heat and mix in the milk and powdered sugar.
⭐Cover the graham cracker layer with frosting and store in the fridge. For four hours or overnight, refrigerate. Slice and enjoy
NOTES:
⭐Make it ready in advance. The night before I want to serve the cake is when I like to make it.
⭐The flavor and texture of eclair cake are enhanced by chilling it overnight!
⭐On eclair cake, canned chocolate icing also tastes amazing! After opening the can, taking off the lid, microwave it for 20 seconds.
⭐Whisk the frosting and then drizzle it over the graham cracker top layer.
⭐Eclair cake can be kept, covered, in the refrigerator for up to five days. Every day, the graham crackers will get softer.
⭐It is best to use cows milk (not oat or almond milk) so that the pudding mix sets well in the cake.
It looks delicious. I wil try it although I’m no really partial to the peanut butter, can I just leave it or is there a substitute.
