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!!!

It's almost 11PM, I was ready to shut down my comp. Then I decided to check Blogs I Follow, and here it is, your new post. I am laughing into my pillow not to awake anyone. You are wonderful, you know that?! Delicious post! Cal I lick the spoon? 🙂
Anne Regalado
That looks really scrumptious !!!! Lovely presentation , Kim 😉 Love the bowl , too hahaha
Kim Bee
Thanks Anne! I had a blast! The only bowl it would fit inside. Lol!
Kim Bee
Lol, thanks Marina. I so appreciate it. I enjoy writing almost as much as eating. I may have already licked the bowl. I'll make another one and we can split it.
Kim Bee
Lol, it was huge. And I ate like half. So crazy! I had a great weekend. The only thing missing was a movie which is tradition here. But with mini-me sick we put it off till next week. Thanks Ann!
Kim Bee
Lol, it was way too good. I had such a tummy ache but it was so worth it.
Kristen
I think I got a sugar rush just looking at the pictures! What a wonderful treat for your happy day. Hoping mini-me is well soon so you can get to the movie portion of your celebration!
Tina
This does look good, but I would have to find a big spoon because I would want every component in one bite. I have to say Kim-you really know how to celebrate a birthday as well as enjoy a photo shoot-yum! Sinful and delicious-perfect for the birthday girl.

I am happy to say that I don't have a single one of those ingredients lying around the house and I think it needs to stay that way. That looks too amazingly decadent. Definitely a birthday girl's dream though!
Lizzy

That is one turtletastic sundae! I want I want I want!!!! And it's totally healthy right???? I mean bananas are loaded with potassium and there is a lot of calcium and protein in ice cream! I feel healthier just thinking about it! 🙂
