### Banana Peanut Butter Jar Face: A Delicious Dessert in a Jar

Have you ever heard of "jar face"? If not, let me introduce you to this delightful creation. It's called that because it’s so solid, so enveloped in creams, and so full—almost like it has a face, just waiting to be eaten! This dessert is perfect for those who love the combination of peanut butter, bananas, and creamy puddings all layered together in a jar.

Instead of putting bananas in fruit salads, why not use them for this jar face? It’s such a brilliant idea because bananas truly shine when they’re layered with creamy peanut butter and pudding. This dessert is so simple yet so satisfying, and it’s no wonder the creator says, "If you haven’t mixed peanut butter with whipped topping and dipped any kind of fruit in it, you're not living!"

This recipe is inspired by the French word "parfait," which means perfect. And honestly, this jar face is just that—perfect for dessert or even as a creative breakfast idea. Let’s dive into how to make this banana peanut butter jar face step by step.

#### **The Layers of the Banana Peanut Butter Jar Face**

To start, you’ll need a few key ingredients:

- **Peanut butter**: The base layer is all about that classic peanut butter flavor. For an extra creamy texture, mix it with whipped topping from the tub. It creates a mousse-like consistency that’s irresistible.

- **Banana pudding**: You can make your own or buy it pre-made in the tub. This adds the perfect sweet and creamy element to the jar face.

- **Mini vanilla wafers**: These crunchy, sweet cookies add texture and are the perfect complement to the soft layers below.

- **Bananas**: Of course, you’ll need ripe bananas for that iconic banana flavor and texture.

The process is all about layering:

1. **Start with peanut butter**: Scoop a generous amount of peanut butter mixed with whipped topping into the jar. The creator emphasizes digging deep to get that nice, mousse-like texture. It smells so good, you might just want to eat it right then and there!

2. **Add bananas**: Layer slices of banana on top of the peanut butter. Use them to push everything down as you go—it’s almost like playing with your food!

3. **Layer vanilla wafers**: Pour in some mini vanilla wafers and press them down. The creator loves when they’re like sweet nachos—some crunchy, some soft, depending on how much pudding they come into contact with.

4. **Finish with pudding**: Top it all off with banana pudding or get creative by adding chocolate pudding for a "banana chocolate extravaganza."

The creator also mentions leaving a little space at the top for curb appeal. After you’ve built your jar face, give it a quick once-over to ensure everything is neatly layered.
