Layered Banana Awesomeness

Another creation of mine that Ben wanted to make sure we remembered the recipe for. I had over-ripe bananas but *gasp* didn't want banana bread.

Layered Banana Awesomeness
4 graham crackers, crushed to pea sized pieces
2 T butter, melted
6 spoonfuls of sugar
~1 C plain yogurt (vanilla would work too, but maybe use less sugar)
2 over-ripe bananas
1 C frozen strawberries, thawed (optional)
1 (small?) package of vanilla pudding, cooked as the package directs

Mix the graham cracker crumbs with about 3 spoonfuls of sugar in a 9x9 baking pan. Drizzle butter over the crumbs, mix with your fingers, and press into the pan. It will still be very crumbly. Spoon little dollops of yogurt all over the crumbs. Smooth it down with the back of the spoon and try and mostly cover the crumbs. Slice the bananas into the pan, spreading them evenly. Add the strawberries too. Sprinkle the fruit with 3 spoonfuls of sugar. Pour the pudding over the fruit. Chill until the pudding is set.

Amish Fluff

OK, so I remember Grandma mixing more or less equal parts of peanut butter and marshmallow fluff to spread on sandwiches (which is very delicious, especially if you add bananas.) Now, the PB + fluff mixture is surprisingly NOT sticky. At a church activity, somebody brought something that tasted very similar to the PB + fluff mixture, but it was sticky and absolutely delicious as an apple dip. They called it 'Amish Fluff' but didn't know the recipe cuz their neighbors (who happen to be Amish) made it. Google told me the secret ingredient was syrup of some sort.

Amish Fluff
2 parts peanut butter (chunky works better for a dip)
2 parts marshmallow fluff
1 part corn syrup/maple syrup/light molasses (I never saw a recipe with honey, but I bet that would work too...)

I made the molasses version, but I only had blackstrap molasses, so I used 1/2 part blackstrap and 1/2 part corn syrup. It's super yummy, but I think next time I would do 1/4 part blackstrap so that there's a stronger peanut taste.
