Cakes and Pies

I've been meaning to post this for days and days, and I keep forgetting! This is one of the best pies I've ever tasted!! *swoon*



It's super-easy to make, and tastes amAzing!


Peanut Butter-Chocolate Banana Cream Pie

35 NILLA Wafers, finely crushed (about 1 cup)
1/4cup butter, melted
2 squares BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, divided
1/2 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
2 bananas, cut lengthwise in half, then crosswise into quarters
2 pkg. (3.4 oz. each) JELL-O Vanilla Flavor Instant Pudding
2 cups cold milk
2 cups thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, divided
2 Tbsp. Salted Peanuts, coarsely chopped

Make It
HEAT oven to 350ºF.
MIX wafer crumbs and butter until well blended;
press onto bottom and up side of 9-inch pie plate. Bake 5 to 8 min. or
until golden brown. Cool completely. Meanwhile, make chocolate curls
from 1/2 chocolate square. Refrigerate.
MICROWAVE remaining 1-1/2 chocolate squares and
peanut butter in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1 min.; stir until chocolate
is completely melted and mixture is well blended. Place bananas in
crust; drizzle with melted chocolate.
BEAT pudding mixes and milk in large bowl with
whisk 2 min. Stir in 1 cup COOL WHIP. Spread over bananas; top with
remaining COOL WHIP.
REFRIGERATE 3 hours. Top with chocolate curls and nuts just before serving.


Notes:
I used a store-bought graham cracker crust rather than making a Nilla wafer crust, and it was still fabulous! I also didn't add any peanuts, but I did use just a bit more chocolate than the recipe called for.

Looks yummy! Thanks for sharing.

I can verify that this is one of the best pies ever! Lisa gave me the recipe a couple weeks ago, and I've already made it twice. Ha! I was all set to have the last piece for dessert last night, and I dropped it in the sink, which was full of water at the time.

Well, at least it was only one piece.

That looks amazing! You know, I just saw a Dr. Oz thing on good 'night time snacks, and bananas with peanut butter was one of them. I don't know why, but it's never occured to me to combine bananas with peanut butter. I've heard of bananas and chocolate, but not peanut butter.

Hmm, I wonder if Dr. Oz would approve this pie as an acceptable night time snack.

bananas with peanut butter..That doesn't sound yummy too me.Maybe to a child tho.
