kraft kitchens tips

Size-Wise

Enjoy this pie on a special occasion but remember to keep tabs on portions.

How to Keep Bananas From Browning

Brush bananas with lemon juice to keep them from browning.

How to Make Chocolate Curls

Warm 1 oz. Baker's Chocolate by microwaving it on HIGH for a few seconds or just until you can smudge the chocolate with your thumb. Hold the chocolate piece steadily, then draw a vegetable peeler slowly over the flat bottom of the chocolate piece, allowing a thin layer of chocolate to curl as it is peeled off the bottom to make long, delicate curls. Repeat with remaining chocolate piece.

I would love to make this kind of dessert, they sound so delicious, but I really don't like cool whip. Wish there was a good substitute for it.

I make this in a 13x9 dish and add a little extra of most of the ingredients. This is a huge hit every time I make it, I see people go back not only for seconds but thirds!

I made this for a church potluck. It was fantastic, and the best part, since it didn't have cream cheese in it, it didn't break the bank like some other desserts do!
