What should I make for dessert?!

My kids love it when I take a graham cracker crust, slice bananas into it, then pour prepared instant chocolate pudding over it. Once it's set, I top it with a container of Cool Whip that's been thawed a bit or Reddi Whip - either works just fine. Before I had my son with peanut allergies, I used to whip some peanut butter into the chocolate pudding too or sprinkle chopped nuts in when the bananas went in.
