Helpful Kitchen Tools:

Instructions
- Prep the bananas: Peel & cut into slices. We made ours about 1/4 inch thick.
- Make the Base: In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the whipped topping, sour cream, and pudding mix, until fully combined.
- Add the Mix-ins: Fold in the marshmallows, vanilla wafers, and banana slices, so they are evenly distributed.
- Finish: Chill in fridge for 1 hour to allow the cookies to soften and flavors to meld. When read to serve, top with your desired garnishes.
Prep Tips:
- Storage – Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Do not freeze.
- Bananas – Slice bananas just before mixing to keep them from browning. Toss bananas gently with the fluff mixture to avoid mashing.
- Make ahead tip: Prep everything except the bananas, then stir them in right before serving. Add toppings last (nuts, cookies, or marshmallows) to keep them crunchy.
