Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare the Pretzels: Tear open or cut the tops of each bag of pretzels. For added texture and flair, reserve a couple of pretzels from each bag to crush for garnish if desired.
  2. Crush the Pretzels: Gently squeeze each bag to crush the pretzels into smaller pieces. Fold down the tops of the bags about 1 inch, creating a cute display, and set them upright in a basket or casserole dish.
  3. Layer Vanilla Pudding: Spoon a generous layer of vanilla pudding into each bag. Share one individual cup of pudding between two bags of pretzels for the perfect creamy touch!
  4. Add Strawberry Jello: Spoon a layer of strawberry jello into each bag. Dividing one cup of jello between two bags gives you just enough fruity sweetness without overwhelming the pretzels.
  5. Top with Strawberries: Layer a few fresh strawberry slices onto the jello layer to add that juicy freshness when tasting.
  6. Finish with Whipped Cream: Top each bag with a delightful squirt of whipped cream, add a fresh strawberry slice, and sprinkle the reserved crushed pretzels on top for that extra crunch.
  7. Prepare the S'mores Dessert: Open the packages of Teddy Grahams, reserving a couple of grahams from each bag for garnish if desired.
  8. Crush the Teddy Grahams: Squeeze each bag gently to crush the Teddy Grahams and fold down the tops about 1 inch. Set the bags upright in a casserole dish to prepare for layering.
  9. Layer Chocolate Pudding: Spoon a generous layer of chocolate pudding into each bag, dividing one cup of pudding between two bags for a rich, chocolaty base.
  10. Incorporate Marshmallows: Evenly distribute the mini marshmallows into each bag, placing them right on the chocolate pudding for that classic s'mores flavor.
  11. Add Chocolate Chips: Divide the milk chocolate chips across the bags, sprinkling them over the marshmallows for an indulgent touch.
  12. Finish with Teddy Grahams: Top each bag with a couple of Teddy Grahams for that open-fire s'mores experience that everyone loves.
  13. Prepare the Banana Pudding Dessert: Open the mini Nilla Wafers packages, setting aside a cookie or two for garnish.
  14. Crush the Nilla Wafers: Squeeze each bag lightly to crush the wafers. Fold down the tops about 1 inch again, and set upright in a serving dish—each bag will now be a sweet sight!
  15. Layer Vanilla Pudding: Spoon a layer of vanilla pudding into each bag, making sure to divide one cup of pudding between two bags to ensure everyone gets a taste.
  16. Add Bananas: Place several banana slices atop the vanilla pudding layer; they not only brighten the flavor but also add a satisfying texture.
  17. Top it Off: Complete with a layer of whipped cream along with a couple more banana slices and sprinkle some crushed Nilla Wafers on top for a delightful crunch.
  18. Optional: Drizzle some chocolate sauce on top for an extra treat!
