Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I’ll start by preparing the brownies according to the box instructions. Preheat your oven to the temperature indicated on the box, usually around 350°F (175°C). Once your batter is ready, pour it into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish and bake as directed. The smell of baking brownies is simply heavenly, filling my kitchen with warm, chocolatey aromas! While the brownies are baking and cooling, I prepare the banana pudding. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and thickened. Make sure to give it a good whisk—nobody wants lumpy pudding! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
