Mini Eclair Bites Recipe

Ingredients

Crust

2 cup graham cracker crumbs I used store bought in a can. I find these to work the best

12 tablespoons butter melted

1/2 cup powdered sugar

Filling

1 box French Vanilla Instant Pudding 3.4 oz box

6 ounces cool whip make sure to defrost it four hours before needed

1 3/4 cups milk

1 tub dark chocolate frosting

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Grease mini muffin pan with non-stick butter spray
3. Melt butter
4. In a medium size bowl mix graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar and butter with a spoon (slowly add the butter and evenly distribute – PLEASE SEE NOTE BELOW)
5. Evenly distribute mixture to the 24 mini muffin cups. Press along the bottom and sides to make a “cup”
6. Bake for 5 minutes (or until beginning to brown) and let cool completely
7. In a medium size bowl, mix pudding and milk using a mixer
8. Fold in cool whip using a spoon
9. Fill either a decorating bag or a plastic bag with the corner cut off with the cream filling
10. Fill the graham cracker crusts with the cream filling
11. Microwave the dark chocolate frosting for 20-30 seconds to make it easier to work with.
12. Fill another decorating bag or plastic bag with the corner cut off with the chocolate frosting
13. Top the cream with a dollop of chocolate frosting
14. Refrigerate for 24 hours

NOTE:

Some people have found the crust recipe to work perfect, while some others found the 12 tablespoons of butter was way to much and the butter started to pool – you may want to start by using 1/2 C butter (1 stick vs. 1 1/2 sticks, or 12 T) Melt the butter and add slowly to the crumbs, a little bit at a time, making sure it’s not too wet. You can always add more or save the leftover butter for later. You want a soft dough that sticks together slightly when you try to form a ball, not a wet dough.
