Turtle Banana Split | Super easy to whip together for an indulgent treat.
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!!!

I should do a public service announcement immediately to apologize to diabetics. This is not a blog for those folks for sure. I wonder how I'd fare with Mrs. Deen's diagnosis. That would be so tough for me. I am a total sugar wench. It's sad.
Kim Bee
I'm on my last box of Christmas turtles. I may need to write the company and ask them if they need a recipe developer. Rofl!
Kim Bee
I shall make you one immediately. xx
Kim Bee
Omg Dennis it was so good. If we ever meet up in person we need to hit an ice cream shop! I need a good partner in crime who isn't afraid to finish the whole thing!!!
Kim Bee
Rofl, I may need to change my habits soon. If my doc gets wind of this one I may get a stern talking to.
Kim Bee
Right!!! Totally healthy. I mean it's got bananas and ....um....er.....ah....okay let's just pretend. I am glad I made you feel good. I bet if they put one of these at the end of my treadmill I'd run faster.
