Electrolux #splits: The Elvis Banana Split.
That’s right. I went there.
A wild banana split with caramelized bananas, peanut butter drizzle and crispy bacon.
So what makes up the Elvis banana split?
Caramelized bananas are the first layer. I simply sliced a banana and caramelized it in a non-stick pan on medium-high heat. I topped it with 3 scoops of vanilla bean ice cream, a good 1/4 cup of melted, creamy peanut butter, and 2 slices of crumbled bacon.
You heard that right.
2 slices.
I am posting this fantabulous banana split for a great cause.
To help spread the word and raise funds for ovarian cancer research, Foodbuzz is sponsoring a blogging challenge that revolves around banana splits. Foodbuzz will also donate $50 for every banana split posted by a Featured Blogger.
You can help too! To help raise money, check out the Kelly Confidential website. You can make your own banana split!
I know I don’t participate in things like this very often, mostly because I am a rebel without a cause and don’t like being told what to do or what to cook.
However, 1.) it is for an excellent cause, and 2.) my knees went weak at the thought of a bacon banana split.
Can you blame me?
So what do you think?
Can you handle the Elvis banana split?

Lol you and your bacon…
You’ll put bacon on everything won’t you? Haha! Looks good though
No wonder Elvis was so fat and died so young, eating junk such as this! Shame on him!

Wow I bet that is SO GOOD! Ice cream and bacon together. OMG
If someone was to create a bacon banana split .. it had to be you!
I think I’ve juste entered some dirty 17 yo teen boy dream :)
the link “Kelly Confidential website” is broken / not working …
Thanks – fixed.
Ohh my – this is such a dangerous thing to wake up to. You’ve got me craving bacon and ice cream!! Not too shabby, I guess. :)
WOWZAH! i don’t know if i could handle that! it almost looks to good to be true :)
Bring it on :-D
You did not top that banana split with bacon!?!
Only you can make that look good.. :) Last night on cupcake wars, they used bacon on/in several cupcakes. I so thought of you as always! Miss you and Mr. How Sweet.
Ha! My husband is pissed because when we were brainstorming for what to do for this challenge, he wanted to do an Elvis-themed split, but I insisted on my idea instead :-)
He just said, “Bacon…man, I didn’t even THINK of bacon.”
how do i think for some reason this would be REALLY good?!?!??!
Bananas and peanut butter were meant to be together. No doubt about it. This looks outrageously good.
^5 girl!
LOVE it.
Oh. my. goodness.
You are my hero :)
Wow! Elivs might the be the king but he has got nothing on you!!!
Why am I not surprised there’s bacon on this ;)
There’s no way this could NOT taste good!!
Awesome! This totally puts my split to shame hahaaa
That looks crazy good! I”m going to have to file that away for a special treat someday =D
haha I love you and all your uses for bacon!
Woooooooahhhhhhhh, that actually looks reeeeally good!! Never would have thought to put bacon on a banana split, but I’d totally eat it!!
I think I love you. :-)
I love this. I hope it gets featured in the top 9 on Monday. :)
LOVE THIS!! My husband is drooling over my shoulder!
Well, this is just awesome!
Genius! I bow down . . .
I don’t know if I’m brave enough to go for this, but I’m sure it’s incredible. Salty, savory, and sweet? Amazing.
I never would have thought to do that. How did it taste?
There aren’t even words.
Loving this!! You know we’re fans of the bacon/peanut butter combo…and adding the caramelized banana…oh my my my…we’re in love!
Wow! Your love for bacon is truly unbounded!
You and your bacon :) I don’t think I could stomach this (even if I were a meat eater), but it still looks great!
Dear. Lord . . . :D
Jessica, this banana split is so creative and very true to your outgoing & creative character. This is a great cause to support. Thanks for sharing the split and the mission with us! xo
You can’t HANDLE the bacon!
Wei-Wei
PS: Why does the title say “Electrolux #splits: The Elvis Banana Split.”??
We had to post it that way for Foodbuzz. I know, funky isn’t it?
This is a reminder of why I love you. Delish.
HA! I love this. I think bacon can find its way into any type of dish. :)
The king would be very proud of you for making this confection :)
Ohmygod. So decadent! This looks delicious and I don’t even love bacon (sacrilege, I know). Haha. Great cause too.
Oh, sweet sweet bacon…
Speaking of things that are sweet, how would you feel about adding a drizzle of honey to this bad boy? Just sayin’. :)
You’re on to something.
I think my husband would think he died and went to heaven with this one! You are so bad…in a good way!
OHMYSTARS this is so deliciously evil :)
I love that you went there with the banana split!
I have to tell you, there is a restaurant near my house that serves a speciality margarita with bacon cumbles around the rim. I thought of you!
What?! I need to come visit. What is the margarita flavor??
It’s a bacon pineapple jalepeno margarita! They also have a BBQ bloody mary that gets served with a rib – no joke! It’s a comfort food restaurant!
Visit anytime! Burlington, VT :-)
Visit? Heck, now I’m ready to move in!
Never heard of ice cream and bacon combined…But I love both!
Oh my! I’ve never had some of the combinations you’ve made in this creation before, but I’m sure they’re great. Good luck!
i can handle banana hamocks and will be seeing plenty of them at gay pride parade this weekend LOL
xoxo
And this is why I love you.
No! I can’t handle it! Oh my lord my hips are getting wider just looking at it. I actually do love the combo of banana and PB and bacon… but never thought of it as a ‘split’. How fun!
This is awesome. It just so had to be done. I don’t care for banana splits because of all the fruit, but i could get into this one.
holy moly! did you eat that whole thing?!?! looks insannneee!! i would do it all but no bacon (don’t hate me!!!!)
the pictures are BEAUTIFULLLLL
Actually it looks pretty darn good! I love sweet and salty! Great pictures too…looks so decandent.
I think this is the perfect banana split for you!!! wow, it looks good! I love the sweet and salty combo heaven.
