Chocolate Eclair Cake

Is it just me or are a large majority of my recipes dessert? I'm a little over the top with that :) My awesome aunt Krista's sister in law (did you follow that) has a cooking blog that I really like- http://hobblecreekkitchen.blogspot.com. I really like her recipes, even though she is a democrat :p I was browsing through her recipe index on Tuesday night when i heappened upon this little gem. I wanted to try it out, but worried that it would make too large a pan and my diet would be ruined with millions of calories. Luckily, every other Wednesday I work and we have a pot luck between all the nurses. I was able to make my dessert and not eat it all too! I actually even halfed the recipe (using a 9x13 instead of a cookie sheet which works out to be perfect!), and it was plenty. It is absolutely delish :)
