Let's face it, we all crave a Banana Split type of dessert every now and then (and it's ok too if you crave it every night, I'm not judging). Instead of feeling guilty over making your way to the dessert table, I've created these Banana Split Skewers, so you could participate in the sweets party and not feel so bad about it. Go ahead add some whip cream to the top too, if you really want to go all out! I'll be right there with you and you best believe that.
