S'mores Icebox Dessert

Carb Lover's Note:

Pudding, graham crackers, whipped cream - yum!! My Mom used to make this all the time when I was a kid back in the 60's. She loved the fact that no oven was needed. I have adapted my Mom's recipe. She used plain chocolate pudding, layered with the graham crackers, set overnight and topped with whipped cream. Here's mine, in memory of you Mom.

• Total Time: 12 hrs 15 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 12 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 15

• 2 (1 1/2 ounce) boxes instant chocolate pudding mix (large size)
• 18 graham crackers, sheets (add more if needed)
• 1 (12 ounce) bag mini marshmallows
• Cool Whip, to top dessert

Directions:

1. Mix the chocolate pudding according to package directions. Set aside.
2. Line the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan with graham crackers.
3. Pour 1/3 of the pudding across the crackers; sprinkle with marshmallows.
4. Cover with another layer of graham crackers, pudding, and marshmallows.
5. Continue until all the pudding is gone, about 3 layers; make sure that graham crackers are the final top layer.
6. Cover and place in the bottom of the refrigerator overnight so the flavors meld and the graham crackers soften up.
7. Cut into about 15 squares; top each with a dollop of Cool Whip.
8. This tastes like a s'more; it is a refreshing and cool dessert for the summer.
9. The cooking time is actually the time overnight in the fridge.
10. VARIATIONS:.
11. •Use white chocolate pudding and raspberry jam, spreading the jam on the graham crackers.
12. •Use vanilla or banana pudding and sliced bananas.
13. OR.
14. •Purest form just like my Mom's, simply layer graham crackers and chocolate pudding--simple and good.
