ingredients

Bundles
2 (8 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
4 medium firm-ripe bananas
8 teaspoons brown sugar
¹⁄₂ cup coarsely chopped pecans
¹⁄₂ cup white chocolate chips
Sauce
¹⁄₂ cup butter
¹⁄₂ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons orange juice or 2 tablespoons rum
6 tablespoons coarsely chopped pecans
For Serving
8 scoops vanilla ice cream or 8 scoops frozen yogurt

directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Divide crescent rolls into 8 rectangles and press perforations to seal. On a lightly floured surface, roll each rectangle to a 6x6-inch square.
Peel and cut bananas in half crosswise. Cut each half into 1/2-inch slices and put into center of squares.
Sprinkle each pile with 1 teaspoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon pecans, and 1 tablespoon white chocolate chips.
Bring corners and sides up and pinch together in center to form a bundle.
Place onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake 17 to 20 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring butter, brown sugar, and orange juice or rum to a boil. Add pecans and boil for 1 to 2 minutes, until slightly thickened; keep warm.
To serve, place 1 bundle onto each plate. Place 1 scoop of ice cream or frozen yogurt alongside, and spoon sauce over both.
