rubber spatula, fold in the COOL WHIP until thoroughly combined. Spread the
cream cheese mixture on top of the graham cracker crust.
4. Arrange the banana slices in a single layer on
top of the cream cheese filling, top with an even layer of the crushed
pineapple, and then an even layer of the sliced strawberries.
5. Cover with the COOL WHIP, smoothing the top.
Sprinkle with the chopped walnuts, then drizzle with chocolate syrup and top
with maraschino cherries. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

~Okay, the Kiddo and I made this, and it was a hit. In just over twenty-four hours it was completely gone lol. I did notice I had to use the stick of butter instead of what was recommended. And it most definitely needs set up for four hours, otherwise the top layers tend to slide around.
