How to Make Twinkie Dessert

Cut Twinkies in half lengthwise.
Arrange Twinkie halves in a single layer in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
In a medium bowl, whisk together pudding mix and milk until smooth and creamy. Let sit for a few minutes to thicken.
Pour pudding evenly over the layer of Twinkies.
Arrange sliced bananas over the pudding layer.
Drain the crushed pineapple thoroughly and spread evenly over the bananas.
Gently dollop or spread the thawed Cool Whip over the pineapple.
Sprinkle chopped pecans over the top (optional).
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to chill. Enjoy!
