In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pudding mix and milk. Allow the pudding to set for 5 minutes.
Cut open the tops of the bags of vanilla wafers and flip over the edges of the bag.
Spoon the pudding into each bag of vanilla wafers.
Add the bananas to the bags and top with a dollop of cool whip.
FAQ Questions:
Can I make these with the mini teddy graham bags?
Yes, it will change the flavor, but if your store only carries those, you could use those.
Can this be made with another type of instant pudding?
Yes, a classic banana pudding is made with vanilla, so you can use that or make it extra special and use chocolate pudding for a chocolate-covered banana flavor.
Is there any way to put these together without making instant pudding?
If you’re camping, you don’t have to bring mixing bowls or something like that. You can purchase vanilla pudding cups and use that as your pudding base.
Can these be made up ahead of time?
Yes, but the vanilla wafers will get softer and softer the longer it sits, giving you more of a traditional banana pudding texture. If you want that on-the-go texture where the vanilla wafers are still crunchy, I recommend not adding the ingredients to the wafer bags until you’re ready to serve.

Storage:

To Store: I don't recommend storing after they have been assembled. You can store all the ingredients separately and the assemble when you are ready to eat.

Tips:

You can use mini teddy graham bags if your store only carries that kind of cookie. It will change the flavor but will work well in this recipe.
Feel free to use a homemade banana pudding if you have a favorite recipe.
You can top each treat with a cherry to make them extra cute -- the color matches the bright red “Nilla” on the front of the bag.
To slow the browning of sliced fresh bananas, squeeze some lemon juice on the fruit.
Make sure to fold the top of each bag down after cutting to allow for easier eating.
