Ingredients:

• 30 vanilla wafers
• 3 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 tablespoons sugar

• 8 oz. semi-sweet chocolate
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/3 cup peanut butter

• 2 – 3.4 oz packages vanilla pudding mix

2. Add sugar and melted butter and stir together until crumbly
3. Press the mixture into the bottom of glass jars
4. Melt chocolate and butter in the microwave on medium. When melted, stir in the peanut butter until completely combined
5. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of melted chocolate on top of the crushed vanilla wafer base
6. To make pudding, combine pudding mixes with milk and beat with a mixer or wire whisk for two minutes
7. Slowly fold COOL WHIP Whipped Topping into the pudding. Don’t over mix
8. Slice bananas and dip in lemon juice to help prevent them from turning brown too soon
9. Then layer bananas, cookies and pudding into the jar. Drizzle more chocolate and layer more pudding
10. Refrigerate for a few hours before serving

Bakerella notes that if you don’t like wafers but still want a base, use peanut butter cookies.
