Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

Enjoy this pie on a special occasion but remember to keep tabs on portions.

Special Extra

Garnish each slice with a NILLA Wafer just before serving.

How to Make Chocolate Curls

Warm BAKER'S Chocolate slightly by heating it, unwrapped, in the microwave for a few seconds until you can just smudge the chocolate with your thumb. Hold the chocolate steadily between thumb and fingers of one hand and draw a peeler slowly over flat bottom of chocolate. Allow a thin layer of chocolate to curl as it is peeled off the bottom. This will make long, delicate curls. Make short curls using the same technique on the narrow sides of the square. To arrange curls on a dessert, use a toothpick to lift them into place.

This pie was great! It was a big hit when I served it. I found it best when made the day ahead so the pudding can set.

I made one small change-I used 1 box vanilla and 1 box banana creme pudding. I like the extra banana flavor. I have forwarded the recipe to several friends. Everybody loves it.

Amazing! I love this recipe. I've made it twice and both times ate way more than my share. My kids could take it or leave it, but my mom and I couldn't get enough.

This pie was very easy to make - and no cooking involved =) The filling stayed firm and was easy to cut and serve to my guests. They all loved it. My only recommendation......more bananas. Next time I make it, I will put banana slices in the pudding mix as well.

This dessert is very easy and quick to make. The people at work loved the combination of chocolate, peanut butter and banana. The only recommendation I have is to cut the bananas in slices.
