Who can resist a pretzel topped with chocolate, coconut, and caramel? I sure can’t! Soft pretzels are one of my favorite indulgences, and I have been craving them since I had a Texas size pretzel at the State Fair. When I saw these Soft Pretzel Samoas @ Big Red Kitchen, my soft pretzel cravings quadrupled! These ooey gooey pretzels are amazingly quick and easy to make. Visit Big Red Kitchen for the details on how to create these tempting treats for yourself.

Now this is the way to enjoy bananas! I found these Banana Boats on Stephanie Im’s wonderful blog Lick My Spoon. These banana treats are great for summer days when you fire up the grill. The ease of preparation is amazing. Simply, slit the banana open lengthwise, fill with your favorite toppings, place on foiled lined grill, close grill and heat until all toppings are melted, and ENJOY! Does it get an easier than this?!?! My mind is swirling with topping ideas…chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, toffee chips, coconut, cinnamon chips….I bet the kids would love sprinkles on top. Of course, some ice cream or whip cream might be good additions once the bananas come off the grill.

What would your banana boat taste like? What toppings would you use?
