Tutorial Thursday...What's on the Dessert Menu?

We were going to fix a whole meal for you, but this momma on Tutorial Thursday is pooped...we doctored it, laundry-ed, soccered it, pto-ed it, footballed it, and CVSed it.  I know I'm so tired I'm making up words...so we are going to give you a quick easy meal in reverse order...first up dessert, next week easy peasy BBQ sandwiches!

Peanut Butter Chocolate Banana Cream Pie

1 cup finely crushed nilla wafers

¼ cup melted butter

2 squares semi sweet chocolate

½ peanut butter

2 sliced bananas

2 pkg (3.4 oz) banana instant pudding

2 cups cold milk

2 cups cool whip

1.       Heat oven to 350 degrees

      2.       Mix wafer crumbs and butter until well blended, press

             into bottom and sides of 9” pie pan. 

      Bake 5-8 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely. Meanwhile make chocolate curls using ½ of a chocolate square. ( I do this by using a sharp knife and a cutting board, or you can make pieces by using a grater)

3.      Microwave remaining 1 ½ chocolate squares and peanut butter in microwavable bowl on HIGH 1 minute, stir 

      until chocolate is melted completely and mixture is well blended. Place banana slices in crust, and drizzle with melted chocolate.

     4.       Whisk pudding mixes and milk in large mixing bowl whisk  

            for 2 minutes. Stir in 1 cup cool whip. Spread over  

            bananas, then top with remaining cool whip.

 5.       Refrigerate for 3 hours. Decorate with chocolate curls/pieces and wafers just before serving.
