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.

I made this twice. Once with vanilla pudding mix and the other with chocolate. The chocolate was much better. I also mixed a small amount of peanut butter into the pudding. Very yummy. I rated this with 5 stars only if it is made with the chocolate pudding with peanut butter added.

My whole family just loves this pie!! I can't make it enough for them!! My husband had me put this on his "A" list! The best part of it, you don't have to make the crust, I just pick up a Graham cracker crust all ready made! Quick and easy to make!!

Love this pie! I could eat a slice of it every day! It is so easy and so yummy! The only thing I would change is to slice the bananas instead of cutting them in half. The last time I made this pie, I used banana pudding with a little of the vanilla and I think next time I would use all banana pudding. But either pudding would be excellent! This is a great recipe for easy entertaining and a quick dessert!
