Twinkie Dessert

I'm always looking for easy dessert ideas and who doesn't like a Twinkie every now and then. I saw this on The Country Cook and knew I wanted to try it. I had my opportunity to make this for a party a week ago and it turned out yummy. I think next time it could used more Twinkies. I think the pudding and fruit over powers the Twinkie. Maybe Twinkie, fruit, Twinkie, pudding, and then Cool Whip. Doesn't it look pretty with the cherries and nuts on top.

1 box Twinkies
4 bananas, peeled and sliced
1 can crushed pineapple, drained
1 box (3 oz) Instant Vanilla pudding
2 cups cold milk
1 tub Cool Whip
Maraschino cherries and chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Slice about 7 Twinkies in half. Place cream side up in a 9X13 pan. Layer sliced bananas on top of Twinkies. Spread the crushed pineapples on top of the bananas. In a bowl mix together the pudding with the milk. Let sit for 3-5 minutes. You want to thicken but still be pourable. Pour over pineapple. Now this would be where I would put more Twinkies, then do the pudding. Spread Cool Whip over pudding. On a paper towel drain several maraschino cherries. Place them in intervals over dessert and sprinkle with nuts. Cover and let sit in fridge for an hour before serving.
