Day Two Hundred Twenty-Four: Chocolate-Covered Bananas & Kids

The other day I was looking for an easy dessert for my kids and found Martha's Chocolate-Covered Bananas.  As the name explains, this is simply a banana dipped in chocolate with chopped nuts sprinkled on top.  Had to be one of the easiest dessert ever...especially if you have a nut allergy in the family and skip the last part.

This also happens to be the messiest dessert ever.  I gave these to my kids to enjoy after dinner and walked to the front door to check the mail.  When I returned approximately forty seconds later, there was chocolate everywhere.  Everywhere.  I was like a HazMat team trying to contain the mess.

Them:  Mom!  These bananas are awesome!
Me:  Don't. Touch. Anything.
Them:  Oh, I dropped some chocolate on my lap.
Me:  And on the floor. Don't step in it. You'll track it around the house... And keep your hands out of your hair.

When the kids were finished eating, I escorted them directly to the shower where I hosed them both down for bed.
