Transfer the pudding to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap (pressing it directly onto the surface), and let it cool to room temperature.
2. Prepare the Crunch Layer:
In a medium bowl, mix the crushed strawberry-flavored cereal with sugar.
Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Set aside.
3. Assemble the Pudding:
In a trifle dish, large bowl, or individual serving glasses, spoon a layer of banana pudding into the bottom.
Add a layer of sliced bananas on top of the pudding.
Sprinkle a layer of the strawberry crunch mixture over the bananas.
Repeat the layers until the dish or glasses are filled, ending with a layer of strawberry crunch topping.
