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 was fantastic! The peanut butter & chocolate flavors were not at all overpowering, and meshed well with the banana. And it was very easy to prepare! I'll definitely be making this again.

Made this pie twice in two weeks. First time used an Oreo crust, reduce-fat Peanut butter, fat free-sugar free french vanilla pudding w/ 2% milk and light cool whip. Came out great, held up wonderful, tasted awesome. Second time I used no crust and 0% milk and it still came out great. I am always looking for ways to cut calories and this time it worked.

We loved this recipe. But I did change it around a little bit. I used Milk Chocolate Chips instead of the Baker's Semi Sweet Chocolate. And instead of topping with the curls and peanuts, I just shaved some of the Milk Chocolate Chips on top of the Whipped Topping. But I found that I had to double the peanut butter and chocolate to put on top of the bananas as it didn't cover it like it showed in the picture. But it is Really Good and can't wait to make again.

This pie is magnificent! It takes no time at all to prepare. I made it for company and got rave reviews. In fact, the company took what was left b/c it was soooo good! I'd make it again in a heartbeat

I used the ready made graham cracker pie crust instead. I also used ready packaged pudding cups, 2 vanilla and 1 banana pudding cups. This turned out delicious.

My new favorite recipe! I bake for my golf group most weekends and this was a huge success. It even went before the kraftfoods simply sensational strawberry shortcake, the most requested dessert I make. The mix of flavors in this is perfect, and it's so easy to make. Thanks to all who rated this because I try to make one new dessert each week based on ingredients I have on hand and what has the highest rating here. You were right!
