Banana Shots – Simple Snack For Kids

I am always looking for simple snacks that my kids will love. Banana pudding cups have always been a favorite of mine, so I figured I would make them fun again! Sure it’s easy enough to poor a bowl of goldfish or unwrap a granola bar, but I have found that one of the easiest ways to my child’s heart is by sacrificing a little of my time, and making a special treat.

It’s not hard to spice up any bring old treat by making it new. Believe it or not culinary decoration is not lost on a child. They adore treats that are well put together (even if they are minimal).

Take these Banana Shots for example.

5 ingredients

Easy to make

Cute to look at

Fun to eat

Ding Ding Ding Ding….. we have a winner (and don’t worry this winner doesn’t drink and smoke, or call itself a warlock((sorry, I couldn’t resist)))

What cha’ need:

- Vanilla Wafers

-  2 1/2 cups of Milk (I use whole milk, and I’m not ashamed)

- JELLO Cook n Serve Vanilla Pudding (4 1/2 servings)

- Whipped Cream (homemade whipped cream is always a bigger hit than store bought)

- Bananas

How Ya Do It:


- Mix milk and pudding and cook according to package. (You could also use instant depending on which your kids prefer, and how short on time you are)

- Put 1 vanilla wafer in the bottom of the small dish of your choice, then cover with bananas (the more the better), spread pudding over that, and repeat once more.

- Top with whipped cream, and garnish with banana’s and cookies.

For major cuteness cut the banana slices into hearts and crumble the cookies.

My kids LOVED these! Now I am sure I will get requests daily for this one. I plan to start using instant so I can produce them at at faster pace :) .
