What's in a name you say?  Well, everything!  If the title of this pretty little loaf isn't enough to make you drool,  then a taste will do the job.  I have some bananas I am forbidding my family to eat just so I can make another loaf.  I am craving this bread.  Like, it is my oasis in the desert... or, er.. dessert.  

Love the sugar on top...  made it glittery and so tasty!

I saw this on pinterest, of course, like half the recipes I make, and I was pretty smitten at the idea.  I adore banana bread, love peanut butter and you all know I could live on chocolate.  So, put this combo together, and I am one happy and fat girl.  Only like 200 squats, 30 minutes of cardio and a killion (yeah, my kids made up that number and use it regularly...  I am doing a bang up job homeschooling, no?) crunches to work it off.  Speaking of schooling, I suppose I should shut up and go do some of that.  Break's over.  Time to grab a hunk of bread and some milk and make my kids work while I stuff my face.
