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 pie several times and found a graham cracker crust to be much tastier. I also add about 1/4 cup peanut butter to the pudding mixture and it adds a subtle peanut butter flavor that I think it needs. I also omit the cool whip and chocolate shavings on top, but still add the peanuts. I think the peanuts really add to the flavor of the pie. Everyone loves it, but it is very rich, so I serve small slices...which goes a long way. Will make again!

I made this as a trial run and it was a huge success. Next time out will be for a larger crowd and I will double it and bake in a 9 x 13 pyrex pan. Also I agree with others to slice the bananas in circles. Thanks for a great recipe.

I made this recipe for the fourth of july and it was a total hit! The only change I made is that instead of quartering the bananas, I sliced them thin and spread them all throughout the pie. There didn't seem to be enough bananas the other way. Other than that, my family loved this pie!
