    I like your style of making banana chocolate smores. I love banana chocolate smores, it is the healthier and sweet taste of banana and chocolate is amazing. I am getting hungry, I am going to try this video to make smores this weekend. Last time I made it with little different style – https://youtu.be/jhqfmpEkdO0
