Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.

- Layer the sliced bananas, strawberries, crushed pineapple, and mini chocolate chips over the first layer.
- Top with the remaining cream cheese mixture and spread evenly.
