T.L.B.S. (Tastes Like Banana Split) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups graham cracker crumbs
6 tablespoons butter, melted
2 (3 1/2 ounce) packages vanilla flavor instant pudding and pie filling mix
3 bananas, sliced
20 ounces crushed pineapple in syrup, drained
12 ounces frozen whipped topping, thawed
1/3 cup nuts, crushed topping nuts (garnish)
16 maraschino cherries (garnish)

Preparation

In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and the melted butter. Pat this mixture into a 9\" x 13\" casserole dish and refrigerate for a few minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, prepare the pudding according to package directions.
Spread the pudding in the graham cracker crust and cover with the banana slices. Then, layer in the pineapple and whipped topping. Garnish with the nuts and the cherries and cover lightly with cling wrap and keep refrigerated until serving time.
NOTE: This dish is best if it is refrigerated overnight prior to serving. If you do this, garnish just before serving. Also, be sure to use INSTANT pudding (cold) and, if two blends are listed on the box, choose the thicker one that uses less milk.
