Preparation time: 25 minutes
Baking time: 45 minutes

Filling:

Prepare pudding according to package directions. Chill for 1 hour.

Pastry:

In a heavy saucepan, heat butter, water and salt over medium-high
heat until mixture boils and butter melts. Reduce heat to low.
Vigorously stir in flour all at once until mixture forms a ball.
Transfer pastry to a bowl; cool for 5 minutes. Stir in eggs, 1 at a
time, beating well after each addition. Preheat oven to 400 F. Grease
a baking sheet or line with parchment. Drop dough into 12 mounds,
about 5" apart, on prepared sheet. Spread each mound into a 4 x 1/2"
rectangle with a moistened finger or paper towel, piling dough on top
and slightly rounding sides. (You could also use a pastry tube with a
medium tip.) Bake until golden, 35 minutes. Remove from oven; make a
1" long slit on side of each eclair. Reduce oven temperature to
375 F. Bake for 10 minutes. Transfer to wire rack to cool.

Frosting:

Heat butter and chocolate over low heat, stirring until melted.
Remove from heat. Stir in sugar, milk and vanilla until smooth.

Assembly:

Slice eclairs in half. Spoon about 1 tb of filling onto each bottom
half and replace tops. Spread tops with frosting.
