Step 1
In a spacious mixing bowl, blend together graham cracker crumbs, white sugar, and melted butter until the mixture is thoroughly combined.
Step 2
Firmly press this delightful crust into the base of a 9x13-inch cake pan, then pop it into the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set perfectly.

While the crust chills, return to the same bowl and whip together cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until the texture is luxuriously smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Spread this luscious cream cheese layer evenly over the chilled graham cracker base.
Step 5
Next, artfully layer sliced bananas and well-drained crushed pineapple atop the cream cheese, ensuring an even distribution of fruity goodness.
Step 6
Crown this fruity layer with thawed whipped topping, smoothing it out to create a beautiful finish.
Step 7
For the final touch, sprinkle maraschino cherries and crushed peanuts on top, adding a pop of color and crunch.
Step 8
Allow the cake to chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving, letting the flavors meld together for a truly delightful dessert experience.

Enjoy every bite of this refreshing treat!.
