BANANA PUDDING WITH GRAHAM CRACKERS
I made this recipe when I was craving banana pudding but out of the traditional Nilla® wafers. When I realized the graham crackers would make nice even layers a snap, the idea to make it in an 8x8-inch pan came quickly. It tastes amazing, and the crackers soften quicker than the wafers do. The addition of the Dream Whip® topping mix makes this very creamy and the even layering means you taste all three elements in every bite!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Butter a baking sheet. In a medium bowl, stir the graham-cracker crumbs and melted butter together. Press the crumb mixture onto the baking sheet in a circle that is approximately 8 inches in diameter. Bake for 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Use a small spoon to drizzle the melted chocolate chips thickly over the baked crumbs on the baking sheet. Let the crunch sit until the chocolate is firm. [The chocolate holds the crunch together in large pieces so it does not crumble when it is transferred to the pudding. I always have a problem with this step, but if it crumbles it doesn't alter the flavor :-)].
- In the bottom of a 2-quart serving bowl, spread 1/2 of the banana slices. Spread about 1/2 of the pudding over the bananas and sprinkle about 1/3 of the graham crunch (breaking it up with a spatula as you transfer it) over the pudding. Repeat the layering once.
- Spread the whipped cream over the crunch and sprinkle with the remaining crunch. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight and serve cold.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking banana bread is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If you bake it at a higher temperature, the outside will be overcooked before the inside is done.
- Test the bread for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the bread. If it comes out clean, the bread is done. If it comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the bread needs to bake for a few minutes longer.
- Let the bread cool before slicing: This will help the bread to set and prevent it from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Graham cracker banana bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With its moist texture, sweet flavor, and crunchy graham cracker topping, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, give this recipe a try!
