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 have made this recipe many times now and taken it to many functions. I have always been asked for the recipe! It is just the right combination of chocolate, peanut butter and banana. And, it is so easy to prepare.

Very good! I just used a pre-made graham crust instead of the waffers. Tasted fine! I sliced the bananas in circles and layered the bottom. Will make again!

This was very good. I added ground pecans to the nilla wafers for added flavor. My husband loved it. I left off the peanuts as I did not have any on hand. we loved this pie!

A hit!!! I made this pie for dessert on Easter Sunday and everyone loved it. It was simple to make, with simple ingredients and I can't say enough how delicious it was. I made it the night before like others suggested and the pudding set well. I highly recommend making this recipe.
