This was DELICIOUS ~ though for me, an odd combination of ingredients to start with :) Made this especially for DH and it is now a "must have" for him. Very easy to make and would be great for a summer bbq. Thanks testtxtazzy ~ made for your Football Pool Week #11 win!

yummy, easy, fast and healthy! sort of lol. I loved it. Also because of the sugar and to give it a little balance i used both plantains and bananas.

Simple enough to be classified kid friendly - with a little help with the boiling. Thnx for posting, westtxtazzy. Made for ZWT5 for RRR.

Delightful, and worked well with chipotle-flavored peanuts (couldn't resist that tweak after I found them in our company vending machine). I also grew up with chopped peanuts garnishing bananas. Made 1/4 recipe (1 tablespoon lightly beaten egg) for this morning's breakfast. This would make a nice dessert (although people might need a mint if made with chipotle-flavored peanuts). This brought back wonderfully warm memories of my childhood, thank you for sharing this recipe, westtextazzy. Made for the Bodacious Brickhouse Babes for ZWT5.
