Since moving to North Carolina from Vermont about 20 years ago, I have found a few things I miss that you just can't get in the South. -- One of which is Ring Dings.  Sure, you can find them in a few stores in the South, but they're few and far between.  Ohhhhhh, how I miss my regular fix of Drake's Ring Dings.

If you're not familiar with Ring Dings, they're these totally awesome, totally delicious round little creme-filled, chocolate-covered chocolate cakes ...

And my oh my, they're little round bites of chocolate heaven.

My Mom used to pack them in my lunch box, and I loved them.  Way back then, they were individually wrapped in foil (instead of the current cellophane-wrapped two-pack) and I used to make a little hat out of the foil wrapping.  You know, chocolate yumminess and  a little fun with a hat -- you can't beat that.

This super easy Chocolate Fluff dessert is simple creamy no-bake chocolate comfort at its best, whipped up in no time flat.

I love Ring Dings so much that any time my parents or friends travel to Vermont, they bring me back a box.  And I do a little happy dance when my box arrives!  And then devour them -- every last bite, in about three days flat.

So, what's a now-Southern girl to do to get her Ring Ding fix when she doesn't have anyone traveling to Vermont?

Well, this super easy Chocolate Fluff recipe does a pretty great job filling the bill.  

That's right, I get my creamy-chocolatey Ring Ding fix with an easy to make simple no-bake mixture of homemade whipped cream and chocolate graham crackers.

This Chocolate Fluff actually came about by mistake.  But hey, don't lots of great things come about by mistake?

My brother's mother-in-law was trying to create an easy dessert that my brother's kids would eat.  They were kind of picky eaters when they were little.  In trying to please them, she created a trifle-like dessert using Cool Whip and chocolate graham crackers dunked in vanilla-flavored milk and layered together, which she called it "Nanna's Special Dessert."

Well, let me tell you, when I gave it a try at her house one day, Nanna's Special Dessert was sooooo good!  So I of course asked her how to make it.

This Chocolate Fluff actually came about by mistake.

Well, when I decided to make some, I totally forgot what she had told me.  I thought she had told me she just crumbled some chocolate graham crackers in whipped cream.

So that's what I did.

I whipped up some homemade whipped cream, and crumbled in some big hunks of chocolate graham crackers.  And it was delicious!

So while it's not exactly  Nanna's Special Dessert, it is totally yummy.  And creamy.  And comforting.  And chocolatey.  And Ring Ding-y.  And one of the best mistakes I've made.

To make a batch of this easy Chocolate Fluff dessert, start by coarsely crushing chocolate graham crackers.

Don't just crumble them all into crumbs -- you want to keep the pieces are fairly decent size, like in the photo above.  It's okay if some of them are just crumbs, but with bigger "hunks" of graham crackers, you get nice big streaks of choclatey-ness in the fluff.

With bigger "hunks" of graham crackers, you get nice big streaks of choclatey-ness in the fluff.

Once the graham crackers are crushed, simply mix the graham cracker crumbles into a batch of homemade whipped cream.  Or, you can use Cool Whip if you want to be even easier.  We do much prefer this dessert made with homemade whipped cream, however.

Then, refrigerate the fluff mixture over night to allow it all to meld together.

While the mixture melds overnight, the chocolate graham crackers absorb some of the moisture from the whipped cream and soften into tasty, creamy fluff goodness.

And that's all it takes to whip up a batch of this easy no-bake Chocolate Fluff!  That I could totally do a face plant in and be quite happy.

So in between my deliveries of Ring Dings, I'll get my creamy, chocolatey comfort fix from Chocolate Fluff instead.  And rest assured,  I'll be very  happy with the substitution.
