Oh, healthy isn't her issue... she absolutely despises bananas (hope I'm not giving out too much info). Try and sneak one into something, and she'll notice.

What's more offensive, is suggesting chocolate and bananas together!! Wink

DH just tried this recently with a drink he brought home. I knew w/o even tasting it that it had to have bananas in it. He had no idea and was shocked that I could tell that it had them in the drink.

Thanks for the recipe anyway, daamom, I may make it for family.

Greenfire, yours sound great , but I only have one bag of chunks.

Hey cookie, you probably used up those chunks by now, but I am adding one more recipe for all interested parties:

CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup margarine, softened
1/3 cup chocolate syrup
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons corn syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (11.5 ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chunks

DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
In a medium bowl, cream together the margarine, chocolate syrup, brown sugar and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the corn syrup and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; stir into the creamed mixture until just blended. Mix in the chocolate chunks by hand. Drop cookies by 1/4 cupfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake for 12 to 14 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Thanks Sunshine. I actually didn't use them. They are sitting on the counter and I'm staring at them. At 3.99 a bag, I want a really good recipe. This bag will end up just sitting there, since I will be afraid to waste them. This recipe looks good, so maybe I will just take the plunge...

I am glad the recipe I posted looks good. I have one more, for variety and then you can take your pick.

These are

2 eggs
1 3/4 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chunks

2. COMBINE flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Beat margarine, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl until creamy. Beat in eggs. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in chunks. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.

omg - cookielady it's all your fault ... sonny boy bought the same chunks ... but really wanted a cocoa bar that was $9.99 ... my answer to him was most certainly you better think of some really good recipe I approve of before I purchase those ... the only plus is that they are not artificial has pure vanilla and all those good things ...

he baked some oatmeal brownie drops with them ... and some white chips as well ... yummmmmmmmm !!!

I would use them in what we like to call chocolate everything cookies-
take your standart chocolate chip cookie recipe=
decrease sugar by about 1/2 cup and leave out vanilla
add 1 pack instant vanilla pudding
add a mix of white chips, mini chocolate covered with non pareils, and chocolate chunks and chips- about two cups total

Yum and gourmet looking
