I crushed some of the graham crackers, mixed with some butter, pressed in the bottom and up the sides of my pan and baked for a few minutes to make a "crust". Then I followed the directions. Oops, I forgot, I also used the crushed gr. crackers to "fill in" the little gaps around the edges and in between on the graham cracker layer.

I can't believe I have not reviewed this recipe! It is always a hit with my family or pot lucks. The only thing I do that's different is I beat up some heavy whipping cream (1 pint) add about 4 or 5 T of powered sugar to it as it is beating and replace the cool whip with the whipping cream. Yummy. When I am really ambitious, I make the pudding from scratch using this Recipe #148727. Thank you Pear for a wonderful recipe.

I make this all the time. This is something that once your friends taste it, when they have a party, instead of saying "bring a dessert" they request that you make this. Instead of using the frosting I make a chocolate ganache, using semi sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream. Just heat over a double boiler and pour over the top of the last layer of graham crakers. And if I don't have the heavy cream I used half and half which I always have in the fridge for coffee.
