Ingredients

4 ripe bananas, sliced
1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
2 cups milk
1 cup whipped topping, thawed
1/2 cup chocolate syrup
1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
Maraschino cherries for garnish
Additional whipped topping for serving

Instructions

Prepare the Pudding: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk until smooth. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
Layer the Ingredients: In a 9×13 inch dish, layer half of the sliced bananas on the bottom. Spread half of the pudding mixture over the bananas, followed by half of the whipped topping.
Add More Layers: Drizzle half of the chocolate syrup over the whipped topping, then add the crushed pineapple and sprinkle with chopped nuts. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients.

Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
