Steps:

• Line the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan with graham crackers.
• In a large bowl, combine pudding mix and milk; stir well. Mix whipped topping into pudding mixture. Spread half of mixture over graham cracker layer. Top with another layer of graham crackers and the remaining pudding.
• Top all with a final layer of graham crackers and frost with chocolate frosting. Refrigerate at least two hours before serving to allow the graham crackers to soften.

Steps:

• Mix together vanilla pudding mix and milk.
• Fold in whipped topping.
• Line 9 x 13 pan with one layer of graham crackers.
• Put half of the pudding mixture over the graham crackers.
• Place a second layer of graham crackers over the pudding mixture.
• Put the remaining pudding mixture over the graham crackers.
• Place a third layer of graham crackers over the pudding mixture.
• Heat the tub of frosting in the microwave for 30 seconds to soften. (Don't forget to remove the foil seal or you'll get fireworks).
• Spread frosting on the top of the last layer of graham crackers.
• Cover with plastic wrap and let set a couple hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
• Cut in squares.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine pudding mix and 3 cups milk; mix well. Fold in whipped topping and beat with mixer for 2 minutes.
• In a buttered 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a layer of graham crackers on the bottom of the dish.
• Spread 1/2 of the pudding mixture over crackers, then top with graham crackers. Spread remaining pudding over crackers; top second pudding layer with another layer of crackers.
• To make topping: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine 1/4 cup milk, cocoa and sugar and allow to boil for 1 minute; remove from heat and add butter and vanilla. Mix well and cool.
• Pour sauce over graham cracker layer and refrigerate until set; serve.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the graham flour, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat the butter and brown sugar until combined, about 2 minutes. Add the molasses and beat to combine. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat until well combined. Divide the dough in 2, wrap each half in plastic wrap and flatten into a disc. Chill until firm enough to roll, at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• On a floured piece of parchment and using a floured rolling pin, roll one of the discs to an even 1/8-inch-thick rectangle. Trim the edges and cut the dough into about twelve 2-inch-by-4-inch rectangles, but don't separate the cookies. Score each rectangle in half crosswise, but don't cut all the way through. Using a fork, make 3 indentations in each square. Transfer the parchment with the rolled dough to a baking sheet. Freeze for 10 minutes.
• Bake until the edges have darkened slightly and the dough is set and dry, 15 to 18 minutes. While the cookies are still warm, use a knife to cut them apart. Let the cookies cool completely on the sheet on a rack. Repeat with the remaining dough, rerolling the scraps once.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
• Place the one pound of chocolate in a large heat-proof bowl set over a pan of simmering water and stir occasionally until the chocolate is melted. Off the heat, immediately stir in the butter, flour, sugar, coffee granules, and salt with a rubber spatula. Whisk in the egg yolks until smooth.
• Place the egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat until they form soft peaks. Scrape the egg whites into the chocolate mixture and fold them in very carefully with a rubber spatula, just until combined. Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 15 minutes exactly. (Be sure your oven temperature is accurate!)
• Turn the oven off and leave the cake in the oven, leaving the door slightly ajar. Allow the cake to cool in the oven for 1 hour. The cake will sink in the middle.
• Carefully release the sides of the pan and slide the cake onto a flat serving plate or cake stand. Place the 3 ounces of chocolate and the heavy cream in a heat-proof bowl set over a pan of simmering water and heat just until the chocolate melts, stirring occasionally. Add a drop of cream if the mixture is too thick to pour. Pour the chocolate onto the sunken part of the cake, leaving the edge unfrosted. Allow to cool and serve warm or at room temperature with a scoop of ice cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Cream butter and add sugar and egg yolks, mixing until well combined.
• Add graham craker crumbs, baking powder, cocoa, salt, milk, vanilla extract; mix well.
• Beat egg whites until stiff and fold into mixture.
• Pour batter into two greased and floured 9 inch round pans.
• Bake 25-30 minutes. Cool slightly. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
• Combine the cream and sugar in a small saucepan and heat to a boil. Pour the hot mixture over the chocolate and butter in a medium bowl.
• Stir until completely melted and smooth. Serve warm over cake.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 15- by 10- by 1-inch baking pan with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang at each end.
• Line bottom of pan with graham crackers (it will be a tight fit).
• Melt butter in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, then add brown sugar and salt and cook, whisking, until mixture is smooth and combined well, about 1 minute. Pour over crackers, spreading evenly, and bake in middle of oven until golden brown and bubbling, about 10 minutes.
• Scatter chocolate chips evenly over crackers and bake in oven until chocolate is soft, about 1 minute. Remove pan from oven and gently spread chocolate evenly over crackers with offset spatula. Sprinkle nuts evenly over chocolate and cool crackers in pan on a rack 30 minutes. Freeze until chocolate is firm, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Carefully lift crackers from pan by grasping both ends of foil, then peel foil from crackers. Break crackers into serving pieces.
