Turtle Banana Split | Super easy to whip together for an indulgent treat.Â
Hi folks. Yes you are reading the post title correctly. I, being the Lunatic that I am, made a banana split with the ever popular Turtles candy I love so much.
You may have read the post where I talked about stealing Turtles last year from hubs and B. You  may have read about my Turtle Bark. You also may have read about my Turtle ice cream and the fact that we ended up with a gazillion boxes of it this Christmas. I am sure it had nothing to do with the fact that people read about last years heist and felt sorry for myself and mini-me. Nah, could not have been that.
So since it is my birthday weekend and no holds should be barred on a birthday weekend I decided to make myself a monster sized banana split. I did not want just any banana split. So I thought to myself, "self what is your favourite ice cream?" And my self almost blew out my eardrums yelling "Turtles, Turtles, Turtles!" I just so happened to have some homemade Turtle ice cream so now the anticipation was building what I could lay on this thing.
So I went through my mental checklist:
- Turtle Ice Cream- check
- Whipped Cream- check
- Turtles Candy- check
- Skor Bits- check
- Caramel Sauce- check and bonus it's homemade
- Fudge Sauce- check, I had homemade but opted for Magic Shell
- Pecans- check
- Giant Bowl- check
- Giant Appetite- check
- Couch To Pass Out On After- check
So you see I was good to go. Let's not talk about why I happen to have all these items laying around. Maybe we shouldn't talk about that. Let's not even think about it. In fact, let's never speak of it again.
I know you are dying to know how I made it but first I want to make sure you all saw my birthday cake Chef Dennis made me so check below for that little beauty:
That was the cake portion of my birthday. Thanks Dennis.
So now we just had the ice cream phase left. To me if you're going to splurge you should go big or go home. Of course going big might mean not being able to fit through the door after eating it but hey, who needs to go anywhere when the ice cream is in here anyway. So on to the recipe. You may get a bit fat eating it but you'll be happy. You're welcome!!!

Aw thanks so much Anne. I sure had a great weekend and this was the....cherry on the sundae? I have no idea. But it was good. I now need to behave. The bowl was from my first foray into the chef store. Cheap too. I can't remember if it was $7 or $14. Knowing me probably $7. Lol!

Lol, thanks. I was going for sinful but I'll take heaven. I do live in the land of indulgence. I really should grow up and eat like an adult. But I don't wanna!

Thanks so much. I was grasping at straws trying to find a banana boat shaped bowl. Lol. This one was a first purchase at a chef supply store. So cute. Thanks for stopping by. I adore your blog. I am bookmarking stuff like mad this week.
