8 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 1/3 cups confectioner's sugar
8 ounces (1 pkg) cream cheese, softened
1 5-ounce can crushed pineapple
1 cup prepared whipped cream

Recipe
To prepare the first layer of your banana split dessert,
melt butter in a 9-inch by 13-inch glass baking dish. Stir
in graham cracker crumbs and press with a fork to make crust.
Bake for about 5 minutes in a pre-heated 200-F degree oven.
Set aside to cool. Prepare the second layer by combining
sugar, cream cheese, pineapple, and prepared whipping cream
in a large mixing bowl. Beat with a mixer to thoroughly
combine all ingredients. Spread the mixture evenly over the
top of the graham cracker crust. Slice enough bananas to
completely cover the pineapple-cream layer of your dessert.
Prepare instant chocolate pudding with milk and pour mixture
over the top of the banana slices. Refrigerate to set and
store.
Just prior to serving, top with additional whipped cream,
and sprinkle with nuts and maraschino cherries. Refrigerate
to store.
