Caramel Bananas

Caramel Bananas are delicious sticky fruit delight that are ideal as desserts, snacks and treats. They are very easy to make and the addition of the coconut at the end if the perfect finishing touch. I have also added crushed pistachio, smarties and other weird and wonderful touches all with great success.

Caramel Bananas

A very popular dessert regardless of age. My grandchildren love them and so do my parents. Always a surprise and success.
