Ingredients

46 Nilla Wafers, divided

3 tablespoons butter, melted

½ cup chopped Planters Pecans

⅓ cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 packages (3.4 ounces each) Jell-O Vanilla Flavor Instant Pudding

2 cups cold milk

1 tub (8 ounces) Cool Whip whipped topping, thawed, divided

4 bananas (1 pound), sliced

1 package (8 ounces) Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened

¼ cup granulated sugar

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Crush 30 wafers; mix next 4 ingredients. Spread onto bottom of 15-by-10-by-1-inch pan sprayed with cooking spray. Bake 5 minutes; stir. Bake 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown; cool.
Beat pudding mixes and milk with whisk 2 minutes. (Pudding will be thick.) Stir in 1 cup Cool Whip. Layer ⅓ of the crumb mixture and half each of the bananas and pudding in a 2-quart serving bowl; repeat. Beat cream cheese and granulated sugar in medium bowl with mixer until blended. Gently stir in 1 cup of remaining Cool Whip; spread over top, sealing to edge of bowl. Sprinkle with remaining crumb mixture. Refrigerate 3 hours. Top each serving with remaining Cool Whip and whole wafers just before serving.
