Banana Split in a Jar

Submitted by dicentra

"From yahoo group. Recipe description: NOTE: Serve over ice cream with whipped cream and chocolate syrup! This also makes a great spread on toast or topping for pancakes or waffles, pound cake or cheesecake, and everything else you can think up. If you don’t like any of the specific classic banana split fruits, of course you can leave it out and increase the other fruits, or replace it with something else. If you don’t like walnuts, use pecans, or no nuts at all. I added banana rum because I had it. You could use another rum, or leave that out altogether."

I made this today for my wife. She loves it and has threatened not to share with the family
