Eclair Puffs aren't just for Valentines day!

Good friends of our moved to Wisconsin last summer. This was their specialty that I always looked forward to. I remember Tim bringing these to a gathering one time with them baked together in the shape of a heart! It was so great :-)

Puffs
1 cup water
1 stick margarine
1 cup flour
4 eggs
Boil water and margarine, turn to low and add flour. Keep stirring until it looks like play dough. Remove from heat and add eggs one at a time. Spoon onto a baking sheet a tablespoon at a time, or make long strips if you want it to look more eclair-ish not cream puff-ish. Does that make sense? Bake dough 1 hour @ *400 and cool completely!

Filling
1 large instant vanilla pudding mix
1 1/4 cup milk
1/2 of a 9 oz cool whip - thawed
1 tsp vanilla
Mix together the pudding powder and milk until thick then add vanilla and fold in cool whip gently. Use this to fill each cooled puff that has been sliced open.

Icing
2 squares unsweetened chocolate
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons milk
1 cup powdered sugar.
Melt & stir the chocolate, butter and milk together. Add powdered sugar and it's ready to drizzle over the top of the puffs.

Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
