I love eclairs but making the actual pastry is difficult so I came up with this recipe as a substitute. It still satisfies my cravings with the same wonderful flavors.—Thelma Beam, Esbon, Kansas

This recipe has been a favorite for years. I have made it often for bbq's and it is always a crowd pleaser.

I prefer to add another layer of graham cracker. Friends and family love it! One of these days I'm going to get creative and change out the flavors. This is always good!

I have made this desert many times. Unfortunately, my recipe apparently grew feet because I cannot locate it. This is the closest to my own. Thanks for sharing!

This recipe is delicious & so easy!! My kids love it & I always seve it when they are home from college. Just be sure to let it refrigerate overnight or the crackers will not be soft.
