What makes our Family Size box special
Ingredients & What’s Inside Your 50-Count Box
Our Nilla Wafers Family Size contains 50 individual vanilla wafer cookies made with a simple list of quality ingredients. We start with enriched wheat flour, sugar, and vegetable oil, then add real vanilla extract to create that distinctive flavor profile.
Each wafer measures approximately 1.75 inches in diameter and delivers a satisfying crunch without being too hard or too soft. The Family Size box contains multiple serving portions, with each serving of 8 wafers providing a light snack option.
Perfect for Baking & Classic Dessert Recipes
The Banana Pudding Essential
Our Family Size box provides exactly what you need for classic Southern banana pudding recipes. Most traditional banana pudding preparations call for 45-50 vanilla wafers, making this package the perfect match. We’ve heard from generations of bakers who rely on Nilla Wafers to create layered desserts that hold their texture.
The wafers maintain their structure when layered with pudding and bananas, softening just enough to blend flavors while keeping distinct layers. Many of our customers use the 50-count box for trifles, icebox cakes, and no-bake cheesecake crusts as well.
Storage & Freshness Guidelines
Store your Family Size Nilla Wafers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. The resealable package design allows you to open and close the box multiple times while maintaining cookie freshness.
After opening, we recommend resealing the package completely after each use. Properly stored Nilla Wafers stay fresh and crispy for several weeks. If you live in a humid climate, consider transferring cookies to an airtight container for maximum crunch retention.
