1 stick butter, melted
1 box graham cracker crumbs
1 (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cups butter, softened
3 cups powdered sugar

DIRECTIONS:

-In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter.

-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.

-Add a layer of sliced bananas over the cream cheese mixture.

-Spread pineapple chunks evenly over the bananas.

-Evenly spread the Cool-Whip over the pineapple-banana layer using a rubber spatula.
