I use this as a filling in a sandwich with crunchypeanut butter and honey. Then i lightly brush the sandwich on both sides with butter and grill it in my sandwich maker. Amazing!!

I put this on top of Jessica C's Banana's Foster Cheesecake and it was just the perfect finish. Would be great on ice cream over english muffins or pancakes, etc. Yummy.

This is really delicious! I'd made this few weeks back and given these to my college pals as food gifts and as a SURPRISE one evening. Their dad, a major banana lover, was drooling!! The same night, he telephoned me and asked me when I was going to visit them again. LOL!!!

I made this to use up very ripe bananas and it turned out horribly. They were mushy and way too sweet. I'll definitely make these again by following the recipe and using underripe bananas.

Made this to go with our supper tonight since it was such a low calorie supper. We LOVED it! I only made half the recipe since there is only the two of us and I added 2 tablespoons of chopped pecans. It was delicious and we will be having this again and again. Thanks for sharing.
