1 package vanilla instant pudding and pie filling
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
12 strawberries

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Chop peanuts. Prepare brownie mix according to package directions, stir in 1/2 cup of the peanuts. Pour into a 9 x 9-inch baking dish. Bake according to package directions. Cool completely.

Slice 2 bananas; place in single layer over brownie.

In a small bowl, whisk pudding mix into milk. Beat until mixture just begins to thicken. Gently fold in 2 1/2 cups of the whipped topping. Quickly spread pudding mixture over bananas. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
