When I was a child my Mother always made a recipe similiar to this one. It was just the graham crackers and pudding layered, ending with the pudding which she sprinkled with graham cracker crumbs. Reading it brought back memories of my Mom and I thank you for that. Will definately try it as posted here. I have rated it a 5-star because I know how wonderful my Mother's was, and I'm sure this is as well.

    I've made a version of this for many, many years. Suggestion: use two layers of graham crackers and filling; spread top with your favorite fruit pie filling. YUMMMMMMY and pretty. Happy to find new way to prepare. THX!

    This recipe is SO good. The filling tastes much more sophisticated than what it is — pudding and whipped cream. It's even better if you use French Vanilla flavored pudding. I have to admit. For the icing, I used Duncan Hines Chocolate Butterceam. I softened it for about 10 seconds in the microwave so that I it would spread easily across the top layer of the "cake". It was delicious.

    This has been one of my favorite recipes for many years. I also like using the french vanilla pudding. I have also made it with chocolate graham crackers which is also really yummy.

    Made this for my husband as a surprise while he was outside rescreening our porch. He came in just as I finished making the cake. He hasn't spoken a word - he's standing at the kitchen counter, eating the cake out of the pan with a spoon. I asked him if it was good and he just rolled his eyes and kept eating. I'd rate that a keeper.

    This is a fantastic dessert. It's quick and easy to make and tastes really great. The graham crackers soften a bit but don't get too moist. I will definately be making this many more times.

    Please add me to the list of those who really enjoyed this dessert! Because we have two in our family who need to reduce sugar intake, I made the filling with sugar free instant pudding (I used cheesecake flavour) and low fat cool whip. Instead of the chocolate frosting, I made a ganache of 6 oz. semisweet chocolate, 2 TBSP. unsalted butter, and 6 oz. of heavy cream. This was a winning combination, and we all loved this dessert, decadent in taste only.

    This was delicous. I made this last night and everyone loved it. I did not have any choco-bake so I just used one square of bakers chocolate and melted it in the microwave. Also I thought the chocolate icing was a little too sweet so I may use less powdered sugar next time. Thank you for a great recipe.

    This cake is always a hit. I did do a few things different. I used French Vanilla pudding mix and 3 cups milk. I also skip the glaze part and just use a thin coating of canned chocolate icing. Make sure to let this set, preferably overnight so the graham crackers soften properly. This is such an easy recipe and a crowd pleaser! It's a keeper!!!!!
