  1. Super delicious! My kids loved making these, and they were so easy. Thanks for the great recipe, we'll be making these again!
     
  2. Yummy- these were good. I followed the recipe as written other then I didn't use any of the optional items. I only had four ounces of milk chocolate chips so used them and only one tablespoon of canola oil. We enjoyed these but next time I would follow another reviewers advice and let the bananas freeze overnight so they also would be frozen. Great yummy treat that is easy to make.
     
  3. Yum, rolled mine in chopped dry roasted peanuts.
     
  4. YUM! Simple and easy to do with kids. We didn't use anything to roll the bananas in-- just the chocolate was what they wanted. We did have to reheat the chocolate part of the way through, to keep it pourable for all the bananas we were making (we doubled it). Thanks, Indigo!
     
  5. I love this! Best to freeze overnight so banana inside is frozen and the chocolate sticks to it better.

For now, I am a student in Boston, not quite trying to make ends meet, but certainly trying my luck in the kitchen now that I have one all to my very own! I loooooove spicy food and have nostalgia for many foods that I can't quite put my finger on or track down! I think being a chef is my second calling (writing being my first!)
