NUTRITIONIST’S TIP:
This recipe is a fun activity to do with kids. It reminds me of making rice crispy squares with my mom when I was a child. In fact, I did this recipe with a group of girl guides at a local food kitchen several years ago. The beauty is in not trying to be too fussy with how the toppings go on – it’s supposed to look homemade! The banana layer really does taste like ice cream.
