Chocolate - Banana Cream Pie

My friend Kevin is moving back home to Charleston, SC. While it totally sucks, it means I now have an inexpensive vacation spot down there!!

He came over and we had a few people over for dinner and goodbyes. He made his AWESOME pasta salad we all L.O.V.E. (we use it to carb load before races too!). I'll post that super-easy-you-don't-even-need-to-write-it-down-recipe in the near future.

Anyways....I made dessert....and picked out a Banana Cream Pie recipe (in honor of his love for chocolate. And bananas).

----------

Ok, obv this is the recipe pic, and not my personal pic.

I didn't put chocolate shavings or extra bananas in it. BUT when I make it again I am DEF putting 2 (or maybe 3) layers of bananas on the bottom. Mostly because I love bananas, and partially because I only had a few of them in my piece...I WANT ONE WITH EACH BITE!

It was rather tasty, and I am sure I will be making it again. I mean come on...

Chocolate + Bananas = a little slice of heaven!!!

Enjoy! - apes -
