  3. Spoon half of the creamy vanilla pudding mixture over the graham crackers and spread evenly.
  4. Layer another set of honey graham crackers on top of the pudding mixture, ensuring they line up neatly.
  5. Ladle the remaining vanilla pudding mixture over the second layer of graham crackers and smooth it out.
  6. Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, then drizzle over the pudding layer and spread evenly.
  7. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
