these are great! I've made them many times, my family loves them every time. The sweetness of the pudding goes well with the bananas and cream. The crust is also very good, I'll be making these again soon. Thank you Kraft for a great recipe!

I wasn't fond of the pineapple/banana mix. The kids liked it but it wasn't the instant hit I was hoping for.
