Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Pudding

Banana Pudding is one of the most popular Southern desserts, especially at Easter table. So this year, we've put our own twist on the comforting classic. Some people might find it scandalous, but the vanilla wafers are out! Those classic cookies originally made the dessert popular, but in terms of taste, they can’t compete with our handcrafted cookies. Our version layers the pudding with Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies. They taste just like grandma used to make, so there's no better way to upgrade one of our southern favorites.

The most complicated part is probably making the vanilla custard. But if you can stir a pot, you’ve mastered the main technique! And yes, it’s definitely worth the extra time. Skip the pudding mix and make your own custard for a truly delicious Banana Pudding.
