Banana Split Dessert

Creamy, yummy, easy.  Just a few ways to describe this dessert.  It makes a 9x13 but I usually make half the recipe for an 8x8 pan unless I'm feeding a crowd.

Banana Split Dessert

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 c. sugar, divided
1/3 c. butter, melted
2 (8 oz.) pkgs. cream cheese, room temp
1 (20 oz.) can crushed pineapple, drain
4-6 bananas
2 c. milk
2 (4 serving size) boxes vanilla pudding
2 c. Cool Whip, thawed, divided
1 c. chopped pecans or toffee pieces (found in baking aisle)

-Mix crumbs, 1/4 c. sugar and butter.  Press into 9x13 pan.  Freeze 10 minutes.
-Beat cream cheese and 3/4 cup sugar.  Spread over crust.
-Top with pineapple.
-Slice 4 bananas-arrange over pineapple.
-Pour milk into bowl.  Add pudding mix.  Mix well.  Gently stir in 1 cup Cool Whip.  Spread over banana layer.  Top with remaining Cool Whip.  Sprinkle nuts and/or toffee pieces if desired.
