Start with honey graham crackers as the base.

Prepare two boxes of French vanilla pudding, using less milk than required for pudding. Start with 1 cup of milk to dissolve the pudding mix, then add about 1.5 cups more milk for a total of approximately 2.5 cups.

Let the pudding mixture soft set for about 2 to 3 minutes until thick.

Fold in the entire container of Cool Whip into the pudding until well combined, even if some bits are still semi-frozen.

Layer graham crackers in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish, using whole crackers and breaking some to fill gaps.

Spread about half of the vanilla pudding mixture over the first layer of graham crackers evenly.

Add a second layer of graham crackers on top of the pudding mixture, covering it completely.

Spread the remaining vanilla pudding mixture over the second layer of graham crackers evenly.

Add a final layer of graham crackers on top.

Microwave the chocolate fudge frosting for about 20 to 25 seconds to make it easier to spread, then stir until smooth.

Spread the chocolate fudge frosting over the top layer of graham crackers to cover them completely.

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, preferably 48 hours, to allow the graham crackers to soften and the flavors to meld.
