• 1 stick butter, melted
• 1 box graham cracker crumbs
• 1 (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter.
2. Firmly press into a crust in the bottom of 9×13 glass or porcelain dish, let it chill in the freezer for about 10 minutes to firm up.
3. In a medium bowl, cream together the cream cheese, 1/4 cups butter, and the powdered sugar until creamy, about 5 minutes.
4. Don’t be tempted to add milk, it will take a few minutes, but the mixture will blend up perfectly!
5. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled graham cracker crust.
6. Add a layer of sliced bananas over the cream cheese mixture.
7. Spread pineapple chunks evenly over the bananas.
8. Evenly spread the Cool-Whip over the pineapple-banana layer using a rubber spatula.
9. Garnish with the pecans/walnuts and maraschino cherries.
10. Drizzle the chocolate fudge over the dessert and then sprinkle the rainbow sprinkles over the surface.
11. Chill for at least 4 hours before cutting to allow the layers to set.
