Sounds good, but have one question. Do you taste the dry milk powder? I have found some recipes that call for this have that strong taste of the powder. Maybe it is my overreaction to growing up on milk made from the skim milk powder. All my 5 sibs and I gag when we think of it . :~) (08/04/2008)
Combine crackers, butter and powdered sugar. Press into a 9x13 cake pan.
Second Layer
Ingredients
2 egg whites
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
4 Tbsp. margarine, softened
Directions
Beat egg whites until soft peaks form, then add powdered sugar and margarine. Mix well and spread carefully over first layer.
Third Layer
Ingredients
3 bananas
2 cups crushed pineapple, drained
3 cups whipped topping or 16 oz. Cool Whip
1 1/2 cups pecans
1 cup chopped maraschino cherries
chocolate syrup
Directions
Slice bananas lengthwise and place over second layer. Spread drained pineapple next. Next spread whipped topping. Next spread on pecans and cherries. Chill. Just before serving drizzle liberally with chocolate syrup. This isn't as complicated as it appears and it's really good!
Put graham cracker crumbs in 9x13 inch cake pans. Pour one stick melted margarine on crumbs. Mix well - pat evenly in bottom of pan. Beat with electric mixer till creamy (about 15 minutes): 2 sticks margarine and 2 cup powdered sugar. Pour over crumbs. Slice 3 or 4 bananas over this. Drain one large can crushed pineapple and add to pan. Pour one large bowl Cool Whip (or 2 small) over top. Sprinkle 2/3 cup finely chopped nut on top. Drain maraschino cherries and place on top. Chill overnight - cut into squares.

I use to make this years ago to serve at my home parties! EXCELLENT!! My recipe called for shaved chocolate on top. I cheated and sprinkled milk chocolate chips on. (07/31/2006)
I have the very same recipe, but it has 2 eggs with the 2 sticks of butter and 2 c. powder sugar. Did you just forget them or will this work o.k.? (08/01/2006)
