About


Oh my word these were absolutely crazy good! You should have seen the look on the kid's faces when they were eating these, it was priceless! This recipe is so easy...make one batter, divide it in half, add the cocoa to one half, put the cocoa half down first, then the banana batter on top. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and bake!
