Chocolate Éclair Squares




I tried out this recipe from Nabisco’s website. It came out well and easy to prepare in less than 10 minutes with just 5 ingredients. The recipe used vanilla pudding mix, which I replaced with white chocolate pudding mix the second time and we liked it better.




Vanilla Wafers - 48 (I used the Nabisco brand – Nilla wafers; even store brands would be good)
Milk – 2 cups
White Chocolate pudding mix / Vanilla pudding mix – 2 packets
Cool Whip - 8 oz (1 tub )
Semi sweet chocolate chips – ½ cup

Beat the pudding mix with the milk for 2 minutes and mix in the cool whip. Divide this mixture into 3 parts for each layer of the wafers. In an 8 inch square dish, arrange 16 wafers at the bottom and spread 1/3 of the pudding mix and arrange 16 more wafers on top of the pudding mix. Repeat the procedure. So finally we will have 3 wafer layers and 3 pudding layers. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave for 30 seconds and mash it with a spoon so that there aren’t any lumps. Fill this in a frosting bag and drizzle the top of the pudding with melted chocolate. Instead of a frosting bag we can use small zip lock bags, with the chocolate fillings filled to one of the corners of the bag and nipping the tip. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
