My addiction
I will admit I have a sweet tooth. Not only do I love savoring the tastes of several sweet tooth concotions, but I love to make them as well. This recipe is one I have made on several occasions. However, I have learned my lesson. I will not make this unless I am taking it elsewhere and I know a good portion of it will be eaten by someone other than myself. This comes from experience as I have in the past ate half a cake pan all by myself, in one sitting.
Now don't judge! Once you taste this, I am sure you could eat half a cake pan all by yourself as well. In fact, you will wonder why you even thought about sharing this with others. So, for those of you not interested in sharing (like me!), I am sharing this recipe so I can eat mine ... and you can make your own.

A versatile recipe
One of my favorite things about this recipe is the versatality of it. Pistachio is one of those taste-preferences. You either love it or you hate it. Ironically, I love pistachio pudding but I am not a fan of the actual nuts. So, for those who don't care much for pistachio, feel free to play around with the recipe. I have done this with a chocolate and french vanilla pudding in the past. It was just as delicious. I have also done this using chocolate graham crackers. Now just imagine with all the different pudding flavors out there, and the different varieties of graham crackers, how many different types of desserts you can make.
In addition, this is not one of those recipes that require you to use the brand name of the products. For some recipes, using the generic version will produce an "off" taste. For this recipe, I have used generic graham crackers and I have used generic pudding and have not noticed a difference in the results. So feel free to experiment.
But the best thing about this recipe, plain and simple, is the taste! It isn't too sweet, yet is sweet enough to cure a craving. Yet, even with the incredible taste, when it comes to calories, it isn't over the top when it comes to desserts. So, if you do anything, make sure you try this recipe. It is one I can promise you will make over and over again!
