Make brownie mix according to box directions. Pour into 9x13 pan and bake as directed (ours took about 20 minutes).
Make puddings according to package directions (remember you are doubling it) and put into the fridge to thicken.
Cut fresh cherries so that you can remove the pit. If you are using maraschino just slice them in half.
Once the brownies are cooked and cooled, cut them into small squares.
Layer the trifle first with brownies, then banana pudding, then vanilla pudding, next whipped cream. Add a layer of cherries then start again with brownies. Top it off with a final sprinkling of cherries and then sprinkle the almonds on top. Store in the fridge until ready to eat.
