  1. It is rich! It is wonderful! One of my favorite special occaision desserts!
     
  2. This was my first time making bananas foster. I didn't use dark run or banana liqueur and it was still excellent!
     
  3. So delicious!! I've never made this before and thought it would look impressive if I lit something on fire. I made two batches, one for the kids, and one for the adults. With the kids' batch I made the mistake of flipping the bananas over so they would be coated all over but that made the bananas too mushy. Since we had so many adults I only had room for a 1/2 a banana each and we all agreed it wasn't enough. If I didn't have company over I would have been licking the bowl!
     
  4. Wow!!! If I could rate this more than 5 stars I would. Great instructions. No more than 3 minutes sauteing the bananas. Bananas came out perfectly. Used dark brown sugar. Used coconut rum and golden rum instead of banana liqueur and dark rum. It flamed up nicely. What an outstanding compliment to the seafood gumbo at my New Orleans themed Super Bowl Party! Bonus, the Saints won! Can't wait to do this again for Mardi Gras.

  2. Excellent! This was my first attempt at Bananas Foster and it could not have been better or easier. I did sub a few item since they were not in my pantry. I used 2 tsp of banana flavoring instead of 2 tbs banana liquor. Gold rum instead of dark and smart balance instead of butter. I can't wait to prepare this for guest. Thanks JANIC412
