• Bring to a boil over medium-high heat stirring constantly. Cook until thickened.

• Pour half of the pudding mixture over the Moon Pies and bananas. Add your final 4 chopped Moon Pies and the 2 remaining sliced bananas on top of the pudding, then top with the rest of the pudding.

• Once the pudding is completely cooled, top with Cool Whip and refrigerate until ready to serve.
