Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate and Mix
- 12 oz bag Wilton bright white chocolate melts (or white chocolate chips)
- 1/4 cup Wilton yellow chocolate melts
- 3 Tablespoons banana cream JELL-O pudding powder mix
Toppings
- 1/2 cup banana chips
- 1 cup Nabisco Nilla wafers – broken into pieces
Instructions
- Prepare the pan: Line a medium sheet pan with wax or parchment paper to prevent sticking and set aside for easy cleanup.
- Melt the white chocolate: Place the white chocolate in a double boiler over medium heat. Stir occasionally until completely melted and smooth.
- Melt the yellow chocolate: While melting the white chocolate, microwave the yellow candy melts in a small microwave-safe bowl on HIGH for 45 seconds or until fully melted and smooth. Stir well.
- Add pudding mix: Once the white chocolate is melted, stir in the banana cream JELL-O pudding powder mix thoroughly, ensuring even distribution. Remove from heat.
- Spread the chocolate: Pour the white chocolate mixture into the parchment-lined pan. Use a rubber spatula to spread it evenly over the surface.
- Add banana chips: Immediately sprinkle banana chips evenly across the chocolate, spacing them to leave room for the other toppings.
- Drizzle yellow chocolate (first pass): Stir the yellow chocolate again and drizzle half of it over the bark. Reheat briefly if it has hardened.
- Add Nilla wafers: Evenly sprinkle the broken Nilla wafer pieces over the bark.
- Drizzle yellow chocolate (second pass): Drizzle the remaining yellow chocolate over the bark, reheating if necessary to keep it pourable.
- Refrigerate: Place the pan in the refrigerator for 1 hour to allow the bark to completely harden.
- Serve: Once set, break the bark into pieces and enjoy this delicious banana pudding-inspired treat.
Notes
- Use wax or parchment paper to make removing the bark easy after chilling.
- If the yellow chocolate hardens while working, reheat in short bursts in the microwave to restore smoothness.
- Feel free to substitute white chocolate chips if Wilton melts are not available.
- Store leftover bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh and firm.
- For extra flavor, try adding a sprinkle of crushed banana chips or vanilla extract to the white chocolate melt mixture before spreading.
