What’s in your Speedo?

by Chocolate-Covered Katie on December 10, 2009

Nachos, burritos…

Unlike that gross childhood rhyme (which I’m not going to repeat here), the following Banana Hammocks look amazingly-delicious.

.

Observe:

mon 

Mona’s Banana Hammock consisted of Dark Chocolate Dreams peanut butter, honey roasted peanuts, almond slices, and chocolate chips.

.

Borat is calling, and he’s impressed!

(My advice would be to not pick up the phone…)

Lauren put Better ‘n PB and dried cranberries in her Banana Hammock

bhamm

Later, she made another: this time with grind-your-own chocolate peanut butter

bbb

Dear CCV’s Local Whole Foods,

Why do you not sell grind-your-own chocolate peanut butter?!?!

.

.

And then there is Priscilla. 

If a banana hammock kingdom exists (scary thought…), this girl should be queen!

Are you ready for the Holy Grail of Banana Hammocks?   I can assure you that you’re not. 

Here it is anyway.

.

Presenting Priscilla’s S’mores Banana Hammock

smore

Does she define the word “genius” or what? 

Priscilla stuffed her banana hammock with marshmallows (vegans can use Ricemallow Cream, Smuckers, or vegan marshmallows), dark chocolate, and a speculoos cookie.  Then she took her brilliance a step further and used the Melted Banana Trick on the concoction. 

You all want to go out and make this right now, don’t you?  I do, anyway :) .

.

,

Question of the Day:

What would be your ideal food to S’more-ify? (I know, I used kinda the same question two days ago in the Magic Soup post)

I’ve done S’more Oatmeal and S’more Muffins, but Priscilla’s S’more Banana Hammock takes the confection to a whole new level of deliciousness.  She’s got me thinking:

What about S’more fudge babies???!  Must. Explore. This…

OK I thought the honey roasted peanuts looked amazing, but then i saw the smores! I prefer just regular smores, but do you know what is awesome? Smores pizza on graham cracker crust. Mmmm…I might make some this weekend.

Fantastic pictures of those banana hammocks! S’more fudge babies is a brilliant idea! Also, maybe s’more brownies/blondies, like a mix between the two, with marshmallows and chocolate fudge? Decadence…

My family makes (unvegan) s’mores squares at Christmas. There are a few variations. I’ve also made s’mores with roasted banana chunks instead of marshmallows because vegan marshmallows don’t exist up here.

Otherwise, apples, oatmeal cookies, granola bars, and cupcakes are all good to s’moreify.

Jessica December 9, 2009 at 3:17 pm

Yum, that s’mores banana looks awesome! I think I’d like a s’more version of dessert pizza…chocolate sauce, Dandies marshmallows, chocolate chips, and maybe some coconut flakes for good measure!

How about a s’mores smoothie/blended banana “ice cream”?

Reply

Betherann December 9, 2009 at 3:39 pm

Or perhaps even straight up s’mores peanut/almond butter…yum!

Daria @ Daria Can Cook December 9, 2009 at 4:21 pm

Oh my, genius indeed! It’s slush snowing right now, so s’mores are making me think of rich hot chocolate with gooey melty marshmallows on top. I know what I’m doing tonight! :)

Estela @ Weekly Bite December 9, 2009 at 4:36 pm

OK, my jaw dropped when I saw the smores! HEAVEN!!!

Grind your own chocolate peanut butter? Are you kidding me?!? I also appreciate the use of the word “grind” and “banana hammock” in the same paragraph.

Janna (Just Flourishing) December 9, 2009 at 5:50 pm

WOW! I was NOT ready for that s’mores Banana Hammock.

What is this “Ricemallow Cream” you speak of? I want to try it!

Hmm I once had S’more-ifed fondue It’s basically just meltier than regular fondue because you already have the melted chocolate in the fondue pot so you just dip the marshmallow into the chocolate fondue and then put in between graham crackers. It was pretttty darn good!

I have no idea what s’mores are :) )

Katie December 9, 2009 at 7:02 pm

I’ve been wanting to try s’more oats for a while…and s’more hot cocoa sounds really yummy! I’m not sure how the graham crackers would do in the liquid, but I’d be willing to try it out. ;-)

Nicole, MS, RD, LD December 9, 2009 at 7:05 pm

Haha, you’re cute. Smores…anything? Seriously, your eats look incred!

I think I’d smores up some oats. Oats are already delicious, but why not jazz’em up!

Mona December 9, 2009 at 8:09 pm

Shelby December 9, 2009 at 10:09 pm

Never thought I would say it…but I LOVE banana hammocks! The S’mores idea is genius!
S’mores Fudge Babies?! DO IT!

My ideal S’more concoction would either be ice cream or s’more flavored nut butter! Mmm.

Jenny December 9, 2009 at 10:17 pm

dang, is Priscilla single? I’ll totally marry her – insolong as she makes me banana hammocks all day everyday :)

I have a deep and profound passion for s’mores oats — I get all the great taste of a regular s’more.. without the awful campfire smell than lingers in my hair for days.

WOW.. smores and bananas what a great combo!! Love it! :)

Jessica @ Fit & Clean December 9, 2009 at 11:19 pm

The banana hammocks look amazing!!! I need to make one of those tomorrow :) Anything with chocolate ROCKS!

candice December 9, 2009 at 11:22 pm

Everything is so drool-worthy. I reiterate your question: Why doesn’t my Whole Foods sell grind-your-own CHOCOLATE peanut butter?! And that s’mores banana hammock is a big blob of food porn.

S’more fudge babies sound brilliant. Can’t wait to hear your results ;) I would s’morify… hmm… nut butter or ice cream. <3 I need to buy marshmallow fluff~

monica December 10, 2009 at 2:01 am

Am I the only one who can never find ricemellow anywhere? I need some! (Or a wearable green banana hammock that doesn’t look awesome on?:) That jjohn mayer thinks he’s the only one who can pull it off well he hasn’t seen me in mine,,,,ha.):)

Trail December 10, 2009 at 3:13 am

The s’mores banana hammock left me speechless. S’mores + banana truly = genius!!! I have bananas and chocolate… I will figure out some kind of less-satisfactory substitute until I can get the mallow creme!
