Go bananas with this extravaganza of banana and chocolate recipes. If ever you need a banana chocolate flavoured bake, breakfast, drink or pudding, this is the place to come.
Banana and chocolate is a fabulous combination. If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re missing out. A simple bowl of sliced bananas with some melted chocolate poured over the top is pretty good. However, jazz that up with a few other ingredients and you have yourself something rather special.

It’s a lovely pie Daphne and you’re right, it’s hard not to love this biker boys 🙂
you can never have enough banana and chocolate recipes esp when bananas get black so quickly – I have a few in my kitchen that need using – lovely round up – making me hungry! Am off visiting….
So true Johanna and that’s one of the reasons I love We Should Cocoa – there are always so many splendid idea. Thanks for joining in.
Mmm so many amazing chocolate recipes 😀 I’ve cut out sugar from my diet so I’m not allowed to have chocolate anymore! So I’m having to make lots of sugar free cocoa treats to satisfy my cravings. Would love to try some (or all!) of these recipes 🙂
Oh goodness, that is really tough Nadia. When you say sugar, do you mean all sugar, including fruit?
Did someone say banoffee pie? I love banoffee pie! They all look fab though 🙂
Haha, I know what you mean Cathy. Banoffee pie can be irristable.
genius round-up… I am in heaven here!
Well indeed Dom. I always think of bananas as your “thing” 😉
I’ll have the Swiss roll, double chocolate banana muffins and Dom’s pud please (all for breakfast)! I have bananas going black here, did try to join in but ran out of time. Will check theme when it is announced and try harder this month!
If that’s your normal sort of breakfast Lucy, I’m going to come calling 😉 Every month I intend to take part in loads of challenges that I never quite manage – sadly, there is just not enough time in the day!
