Foodbuzz is helping raise awareness again for the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund by hosting a Top 9 Takeover. Foodbuzz Featured Publishers, like myself, are encouraged to create their own banana splits in hopes of being featured on the daily Top 9.
As much as I love bananas I admit that I am not really a big fan of the traditional banana split. No fear, I made over the banana split into something more my style.
