Jellybeans Favorite Banana Pudding Bars

Everyone loves banana pudding. If you need a quick dessert to carry to a picnic or church supper, but don't want to mess with bowls and a large bulky trifle dish, these banana pudding bars are delicious. I found the recipe on a Philadelphia Cream Cheese Box and it has become a favorite.

These banana squares are amazing for two reasons. They’re full of creamy banana flavor and they’re full of creamy banana flavor! If you’re a fan of banana, this might just be the dessert of your dreams!
