Chill the Cake
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the graham crackers to soften.

Prepare the Chocolate Topping (Optional)
For a chocolate topping, melt chocolate frosting in the microwave for 30 seconds, stir until smooth, and pour over the top layer of graham crackers. Allow it to cool and set before serving.
