Yummy Dessert

My contribution to our Easter celebration (which I will post more about later) this year was a dessert: Peanut Butter-Chocolate Banana Cream Pie. I got the recipe from Kraft and it was a hit! It was easy too so I thought I'd share the recipe.

Peanut Butter-Chocolate Banana Cream Pie 35 NILLA Wafers, finely crushed

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted

2 medium bananas, halved lengthwise, quartered

2 squares BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate, divided

1/2 cup peanut butter

2 cups milk

2 pkg. (4-serving size each) JELL-O Vanilla Flavor Instant Pudding & Pie Filling

2 cups thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, divided

2 Tbsp. PLANTERS Salted Peanuts, coarsely chopped

PREHEAT oven to 350ºF. Mix wafer crumbs and butter until well blended; press firmly onto bottom and up side of 9-inch pie plate. Bake 5 to 8 min. or until golden brown. Cool completely; top with bananas.

MAKE chocolate curls from 1/2 square of the chocolate; reserve for garnish. Microwave remaining chocolate and the peanut butter on HIGH 1 min.; stir until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is well blended. Drizzle over bananas; set aside. Pour milk into large bowl. Add dry pudding mixes. Beat with wire whisk 2 min. or until well blended. Gently stir in 1 cup of the whipped topping. Spread over bananas; top with remaining 1 cup whipped topping.

REFRIGERATE at least 3 hours or overnight. Top with chocolate curls and peanuts just before serving. Store leftover pie in refrigerator. Mmmm Mmmm Good!
