Banana Split Fluff Salad

1 3.4 oz. box instant banana pudding (I used sugar free)
20 oz. can crushed pineapple, do not drain
8 oz. container whipped topping
1 c. mini marshmallows
1/2 c. finely chopped pecans, optional (I used Fisher's pecan cookie pieces)
1/2 c. mini chocolate chips
10 oz. jar maraschino cherries, halved

Stir pudding mix and pineapple together until dissolved and thickened. Fold in whipped topping. Gently stir in remaining ingredients. Refrigerate at least 1 hour to chill.
