Sweet Treat Tuesday-Chocolate Eclair Cake

I had this cake at my small group a couple of weeks ago. It was delicious. After I talked to my friend about how to make it, I decided it would be my dessert for Easter. It was so very easy to make and there are really so many things you could change about it to make it different and just as good. Maybe changing the pudding flavor, adding cream to the top instead of icing, etc. All I know is that this is good all by it self and it is so easy to make.
