1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet)

1/4 cup butter (real butter is the key)

3/4 cup peanut butter

powdered sugar

Melt first 3 ingredients together. pour over cereal until coated. Put powdered sugar in gallon bags enough to coat cereal well. put cereal mixture in bag and shake around. You will need at least 2 bags. I make 3 batches to make 24 bags with a little left over.  Put individual servings into ziplock baggies.

Not Yo Mama’s Banana Pudding

INGREDIENTS

2 bags Pepperidge Farm Chessmen cookies

6 to 8 bananas, sliced

2 cups milk (Note: use slightly less milk to make a little firmer)

2 small boxes instant French vanilla pudding

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

1 (12-ounce) container frozen whipped topping thawed, or equal amount sweetened whipped cream

DIRECTIONS

Line the bottom of a 13-by-9-by-2-inch dish with one bag of cookies and layer bananas on top.

In a bowl, combine the milk and pudding mix and blend well using a handheld electric mixer. Using another bowl, combine the cream cheese and condensed milk together and mix until smooth. (note from Pam - Fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture. Add the cream cheese mixture to the pudding mixture and stir until well blended. Pour the mixture over the cookies and bananas and cover with the remaining cookies.

Refrigerate until ready to serve.
