Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
For the crust, melt ½ cup of butter in the microwave by heating on 30 second increments.
Combine 2 cups of the crushed graham crackers with the ½ cup melted butter, and 2 tbsp. sugar. Mix well.
Press the crust mixture into the bottom of a square baking dish. 9x9 or 8x8 work best.
Bake the crust for 7-8 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the crust to cool completely.
For the filling, in a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and remaining ½ cup butter with a hand mixer, until smooth.
Add the powdered sugar and drained pineapple, and mix again.
Finally, add the cool whip and mix well until everything is well combined.
Drop the mixture by large spoonfuls over the prepared crust, and smooth out evenly.
Sprinkle the top of the mixture with the remaining graham cracker crumbs.
Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or for best results, over night.
