27 whole graham crackers, halved
3 cups cold milk
2 packages (4-serving size) JELL-O Vanilla flavor Instant Pudding & Pie Filling
1 tub (12-ounces) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed
1 container (16 ounces) ready-to-spread chocolate frosting**
Strawberries (option for topping)
Arrange 1/3 of the crackers on bottom of 13x9 inch baking pan, breaking crackers to fit, if necessary.
Pour milk into large bowl. Add pudding mixes. Beat with wire whisk 2 minutes. Gentle stir in whipped topping. Spread 1/2 of the pudding mixture over crackers. Place 1/2 of the remaining crackers over pudding; top with remaining pudding mixture and crackers.
Remove top of foil from frosting container. Microwave frosting in container on HIGH 1 minute or until pourable. Spread evenly over crackers.
** Originally fudge frosting was called for but it is really sugary. If you like that, great, or you can substitute a less sugary spreadable topping. Even use vanilla over chocolate.
I make this without any frosting and take the last package (1/3) of crackers and either pulse them in a processor or smash them in a plastic ziplock bag, then sprinkle over the top.
Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Cut into squares to serve.
Garnish with Strawberries.
