This recipe sure brought back memories. I use to make this and take to church dinners. The Baptist loves to eat and at least once a month would have lunch after church. It is so easy to make and tastes yummy.
That looks awesome
I don’t know if I have words to tell you what my face looked like while reading this recipe haha! I was like a kid in a candy store!
I can’t wait to make this for my family@!

I love eclairs. I will be giving this great recipe a try soon. Thank you so much for sharing
I will admit, eclairs are always a fun last-minute addition to my basket when grocery shopping and heading past the bakery in the supermarket! Everyone in our household loves eclairs as a sweet treat. This recipe is surprisingly easy, and is sure to be a crowd pleaser either with family dessert or company!
I was just talking about bringing dessert for Thanksgiving, I think this is it!!! Yum!
Ahh, the ever popular eclair in the easiest form ever! Mmmm!!
This looks fabulous–I can’t wait to make it for my grandson!
oh wow this looks and sounds so amazing I am going to have a go at making this thanks
This recipe sounds so good. I’d love to make this for Thanksgiving dessert!
This looks really delicious, I’m really happy that it takes so little time to make. Thanks for posting!
I’ve seen versions of this recipe before but have never tried. Maybe the grandkids can help me make it this weekend!
This recipe is so quick and easy and looks deliscious, I can;t wait to try it.
Eclairs have been my favorite since I was young. This looks amazing. I can’t wait to try.
I absolutely LOVE Chocolate Eclairs!! When I was little, I tried to lick all the filling out first before I ate the delicious chocolate outside!! This recipe is pin-worthy!! Thank your mom for me & for sharing!!
Yum! This looks so good- and easy enough for even me to make!!!
It is super easy – and you will love it! Enjoy 🙂
Chocolate and gooey. My kind of dessert.
Oh me, oh my! I LOVE éclairs and this cake dessert look so decadent and delicious! I’m not much of a baker, but I think even I could do this! I can’t wait to try it. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
I used to make this for every pot luck I went to back in the day. I never used homemade frosting though. My recipe said to only use Duncan Hines chocolate frosting, because it best represents the chocolate flavor on a real eclair. Now I want to try this one to see which tastes best! Thanks for the recipe 🙂
We often have food days at work and I’ve been looking for something different to bring. This looks like a winner.
So sweet, so awesome! That looks like a crowd-pleasing confection. 🙂
God bless,
Miles

Took this to the potluck. No leftovers….
I know! There are never left-overs with this one 🙂
This is the best stuff on earth! I have made this exact recipe (only I use already made icing) for every single holiday dinner and it’s always the first thing gone. My niece is getting married next month and she’s requested this for her shower. Haha!
It’s so easy – you almost forget about it! But no one else does 😉
This looks deicious!
It is Wendy!! Be sure to let me know if you try it 🙂
The main thing I’ve noticed with eclaires is the fact that they are not a heavy dessert. They are very light which is satisfying after a meal. Thanks for linking up with the Delicious Dishes Recipe party!
