We joke our youngest is a monkey because he is obsessed with bananas. So much so that we were at the grocery store once and he tried to steal the banana’s out of another ladies cart and she thought he was going for her purse. Talk about embarrassing! For his birthday we decided to have a banana split bar instead of a cake and they were a huge hit with the kids and adults!

Banana Split Bar

A traditional banana split starts with a banana peeled and split lengthwise and placed in a boat. Place a scoop of vanilla, chocolate and strawberry ice cream on top and top with hot fudge, strawberry and pineapple topping. Top with whipped cream, sprinkle of nuts and maraschino cherries. Feel free to adapt according to your taste. We added sprinkles for the kids!
