Coconuty-Bananay-Chocolatey Goodness!

Christmas time is my absolute favorite time of year..and one of the many reasons is all the amazing food to bake, alot of which involve chocolate! So this is my take on White Trash..the concept of combining everything but the kitchen sink into some delicious concoction! It is a recipe that really lets your creative-ness shine :)

INGREDIENTS:
- 1/4 C mini nilla wafers*
- 1/ 4 C banana chips**
- 1/4 C walnuts
- 1/4 C mini marshmellows
- 1 bag of semi sweet chocolate chips
- coconut

*it is best to crush the wafers, banana chips, and nuts into smaller pieces*

1. Combine the wafers, banana chips, walnuts (or whatever nuts you want..or none at all), and marshmellows in a bowl.
2. Melt down chocolate chips in a double boiler or the microwave.
3. Pour melted chocolate into the bowl of other ingredients and stir together.
4. Spread onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, sprinkle with coconut and put in fridge or freezer until set.
5. Break into pieces and enjoy!

** You can find banana chips (just dried bananas) at any health food store or any grocery store in the health food/organic aisle....also if you want another super easy and delish recipe try this one!


That's it! Super easy!! Now heads up..the measurements are all guesstimates because I just decided to try and make this on a whim..and it turned out so good! I would totally suggest letting your baking (or non-baking) creativity go crazy and see what amazing concoctions you can come up with!

Merry Christmas and Happy Baking! :)
