Blue Ribbon Recipe

This chocolate eclair cake is sure to satisfy a chocolate fix. This classic no-bake dessert is layers of goodness. The pudding layer is creamy and softens the graham cracker layer. Hot fudge is poured over the top and garnished with maraschino cherries. Once chilled, you get all of the flavors of an eclair without the work.
