Ingredients
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 package (3 oz) cherry Jell-O

1 can (8 oz) crushed pineapple, well-drained
1 cup maraschino cherries, chopped
8 oz whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed

Step 2: Press the crumb mixture firmly into 8–10 mini tart pans, ramekins, or dessert cups. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
Step 3: In a large bowl, whisk together the cherry Jell-O powder and sweetened condensed milk until smooth.
Step 4: Fold in the drained crushed pineapple and chopped maraschino cherries.

Notes
Ensure the pineapple is squeezed very dry to prevent the cups from becoming soggy.
