Instructions

Mix pudding with milk in a medium size bowl. Fold in thawed cool whip.
Layer in a 13x9 dish: graham crackers, pudding, graham crackers, pudding, graham crackers.
For the homemade frosting, mix the baking chocolate with corn syrup in a double boiler over medium heat. Stir until smooth. Add vanilla, butter, milk and powdered sugar. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Frost the top layer of graham crackers. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours until serving.

Notes

You can swap out homemade frosting for one can of milk chocolate frosting. Remove lid and foil cover. Microwave 20 seconds, stir, and spread over graham crackers.
If you can't find french vanilla pudding mix, swap it out for instant vanilla pudding mix.
Store leftover cake covered in refrigerator for up to 4 days. The graham crackers will get incredibly soft, but they still taste amazing.
Freeze eclair cake by assembling the cake in a freezer safe container (I like to use disposable foil pans). Wrap the entire pan in plastic wrap, then in foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in refrigerator overnight until ready to serve
