Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 package (14.4 ounces; about 18 full sheets) Graham crackers
  • 2 packages (3.9 ounces each) Instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 3 cups Cold milk
  • 1 container (8 ounces) Frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 2 cups Miniature marshmallows
  • 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
Optional Garnish
  • 1 bar Standard-size chocolate bar, chopped

Method
 

Step-by-Step
  1. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Arrange a single layer of graham crackers across the bottom, breaking sheets as needed to cover the surface.
  2. Add both packages of instant chocolate pudding mix and the cold milk to a large bowl. Whisk for about 2 minutes, until the mixture thickens.
  3. Fold the thawed whipped topping into the thickened pudding until evenly combined. Spread half of the pudding mixture over the first graham cracker layer.
  4. Sprinkle about half of the miniature marshmallows and semisweet chocolate chips over the pudding. Add another layer of graham crackers, breaking them to fit as necessary.
  5. Spread the remaining pudding mixture over the second graham cracker layer. Finish with the remaining miniature marshmallows and chocolate chips, adding chopped chocolate bar pieces if desired.
  6. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. For a toasted finish, use a kitchen torch only on marshmallows placed on top immediately before serving.

Notes

Overnight chilling gives the graham crackers time to absorb moisture from the pudding and develop a soft, cake-like texture. Do not torch the whipped topping, and avoid broiling the assembled dessert unless the topping is specifically broiler-safe.
