Prep Time:
Cooking Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
- 1/4 cup sugar

Directions
Combine graham cracker crumbs, butter and sugar in a small bowl and mix well. Press mixture evenly over the bottom of a 13- x 9-inch dish. Arrange bananas on top of graham cracker mixture.
Beat cream cheese in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth, about 1 minute. Add 1/4 cup milk and beat well. Add remaining milk and pudding mix. Beat for 5 minutes.

Spread whipped topping over pudding mixture. Garnish with maraschino cherries. Chill until serving time.
Secret Tip
If you're in a hurry, you can use a prepared graham cracker crust. Use 3 bananas, 1 package cream cheese, 2 cups milk and 1 package pudding mix.
