Instructions

Place the vanilla wafer cookies into a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin, or pulse in a high-powered blender, until you have fine crumbs.
Stir in the melted butter with a fork until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Line a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper (optional, but makes removing the bars easier) and firmly press the crust mixture into the bottom.
Peel and slice bananas, then layer them over the crust in an even layer.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the instant pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until smooth.
Pour the pudding evenly over the banana layer. Avoid stirring—just let it gently settle in.
Place the dish in the refrigerator and chill for 20 minutes or until the pudding layer begins to thicken.
Spread Cool Whip over the pudding layer and return to the fridge for 1–2 hours, or until fully set and ready to slice.
