  1. How absolutely FABULOUS !!! I can't believe this recipe has been posted since 2001, with no reviews. People just don't know what they're missing!! I made the recipe exactly as written, and I couldn't be more pleased. I sealed the perforations in the dough, and piled on my banana filling. When I pulled it out of the oven, it was a beautiful sight!! This is the perfect way to end any meal, and it just couldn't get any easier. A real 5 star winner; thank you for this great dessert !!

  2. I prepared this exactly as directed except that I folded the crescents over in step 4 and pinched the seams shut (it seemed like it needed that and something was missing from the recipe). And also, before serving, I also dusted them lightly with powdered sugar along with the caramel. Altogether, this was very quick and simple to make, and the flavor was over the top. I'll definitely make this again. Thanks for posting!
     
  3. Yummy!! Five stars for how easy this was and using ingredients I had on hand was a big plus. I get tired of banana bread when I need to use up bananas and this was soooooooooo beyond good! The kicker is I did not have plain caramel sauce, I had just bought this new "Milky Way" sauce that is a cross between caramel and milk chocolate sauce. Oh my, I was in heaven. I'm glad the rest of my family are not big banana lovers....(more for me !!)though they liked the dessert as well. Thanks for sharing, and thanks to Tgirl for bringing attention to this recipe!
     
  4. I unfortunately had a lot of trouble with this recipe, and not because of poor directions or because it was difficult! My crescent rolls did not unroll properly (or really at all) and so I wasn't able to just use the pre-made squares. Instead I just kneaded the dough together and rolled it out and made my own squares. For the banana mixture I added about 1/4 cup of dark rum which I thought added a great flavor. I also sprinkled the whole thing with cinnamon and sugar before baking. I baked mine for 16 minutes and they came out perfect. The longer cooking time could be due to the fact that my dough wasn't consistent with the rolled out pieces had I been able to use them. I made KittenCal's Homemade Carmel Sauce to put on top but unfortunately forgot to put in on when it was time to serve! I am sure this would have put this dessert over the top. I served warm with vanilla ice cream and it was a hit despite my road blocks. Thanks so much!
     
  5. This was super easy and looked really nice. My sister, though, said she thought it tasted very fattening, but it didn't taste wonderful enough to be worth its calories. I agreed. She said she'd give it 3 stars. This is definitely a dish I'd only make for someone who LOVED bananas.

If you ask my husband (or my coworkers), I haven't logged out since! <br /><br /><a href=http://www.TickerFactory.com/><br /><img src=http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/d/4;15;0/st/20011021/e/I Joined Zaar%21/dt/6/k/f656/event.png border=0 alt= /></a> <br /><br />So what's happened in the ten years since I became addicted to Zaar? Well, I've been happily married, happily divorced, and happily married once again. (Wanna see wedding pictures? Click <a href=http://community.webshots.com/user/mirjamdorn>here</a>.) <br /><br /><a href=http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v240/mirj/?action=view?t=chuppah2.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/mirj/chuppah2.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> <br /><br />Originally from the Bronx, I've been living in Israel since 1983. I'm married to a brilliant man with the most yummy British accent (this is the part where he rolls his eyes and says, Yeah, yeah, yeah). Let's call him Sushiman, even though he hates that name. <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/member/52282>Chia</a> gave him that nickname when I was trying to create a dinner to show off my culinary talents. I posted here on Zaar with questions about the menu and since sushi was the main focus of the meal, he became Sushiman. That dinner was just the first of what I hope will become a lifetime of meals together. <br /><br />This is a picture of us taken in September 2005 in Kew Gardens in London. It my favorite picture of the two of us. <br /><br /><a href=http://photobucket.com/ target=_blank><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/mirj/Kew.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting /></a> <br /><br />This comes in as a close second, taken March 2009: <br /><br /><a href=http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v240/mirj/?action=view?t=Wedding6.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/mirj/Wedding6.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> <br /><br />I have 4 of the most gorgeous daughters in the known universe (tfu, tfu, tfu, that's me spitting three times to ward off the Evil Eye). Sushiman has 4 kids of his own, so together that makes us a family of ten, together with my dog and my step-dog (sadly, since I first wrote this my step-dog, Honey, crossed the Rainbow Bridge). We're the Brady Bunch on speed. Not all eight live with us, but everyone is in and out all of the time, so we're thinking about replacing our front door with one of those revolving thingies.</p> <p>If you need help figuring out the whole complicated mess, you can check out <a title=Miriyummy -- A Guide to the Perplexed href=http://miriyummy.wordpress.com/about/ target=_blank>Miriyummy, A Guide to the Perplexed</a>.</p> <p>Here are my four beauties -- from left to right: Adiya, Sara, Nomi and Tehila <br /><br /><a href=http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v240/mirj/?action=view?t=111.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/mirj/111.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> <br /><br />On March 18, 2009, my oldest, Sara, got married to Ariel.
