Instructions: Older children can prepare this by themselves with adult supervision; younger children love to mash and distribute the graham cracker crumbs and arrange the banana slices.

Evenly divide the graham cracker crumbs among 6 custard cups or ramekins.

Press them into the bottom. Top with banana slices.

In a large saucepan, mix the sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and salt. Stir in the milk. Whisk over medium heat until the pudding comes to a boil and thickens. Cook for 1 minute longer. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Pour into the prepared custard cups. Chill.

Serves 6.
