Oh yum! Another tasty and delicious recipe with chocolate milk. When I read this one, I thought it was a little strange but I went forward nonetheless. I think it was because it uses cinnamon bread and cream cheese. This was not two flavors I have ever put together.But once I made it, I realized that it all worked our pretty well!

The recipe worked because of the cinnamon bread. Besides the bananas, it gave the sandwich a nice sweetness. The cream cheese gave it a nice creamy flavor. And who doesn't like cream cheese?

Cream cheese and bananas on cinnamon bread? That IS a very new combination to me. We might even try this with different breads. Time for a trip to the bakery, for fresh warm bread!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had some cinnamon bread. Yum!
ReplyDeleteYum! This looks good. I love trying new flavors together- but have to admit I wouldn't tell boys until AFTER they tasted it tho since they are not as courageous!
