Yummy Nutter Butter Banana Pudding

So tomorrow we are having a Bridal Shower for one of our employees.  All of the girls signed up to bring something for our luncheon and then we are also bringing desserts for the whole company to eat during their lunch hour.  I volunteered to make the Nutter Butter Banana Pudding, a recipe I found in a Southern Living Magazine while getting my hair done one Saturday.  Here is the recipe and pictures to help you out!

3 cups milk

1 tsp vanilla

5 medium ripe bananas

1 pound package of nutter butters

2 small packages vanilla pudding

8 ounce container Cool Whip

Mix the pudding, milk and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer for 2 minutes or until thickened.  Let stand for 5 minutes, then stir in the entire container of Cool Whip.  If you would like to leave a couple of spoonfuls out for garnishing the top, its ok!  Let that stand in a bowl of ice or I just put it in the fridge while I get the rest ready for layering.

Now take the Nutter Butters and break each one into 3 pieces...set aside.

Take the 5 bananas and slice them into 1/4 inch size pieces.

Take pudding off ice or out of fridge, and spoon half of the pudding mixture into the bottom of a 3 quart dish.  Layer in the bananas and Nutter Butter pieces.  I usually hold a few pieces of each out for garnish on top.  Now, spoon rest of pudding on top of banana and cookie pieces, garnish as you want.  Chill for 2-24 hours.

Here is my final production:

I hope you all enjoy!!  I know I will!
