I actually think the original poster was talking about Banana Cream Supreme. I sent her that recipe awhile back. But.............Banana Split Brownie Pizza is FABULOUS and one of my favorite show recipes. Only problem I have is that when I make it at a show, I always stop on the way home to get the stuff to make it myself. Then I eat it! BAD, BAD, BAD consultant!
