Very Sweet. I agree with the previous reviewer that says...this might be more suitable for a dessert rather than a veggie side dish. Still very good. Thank you.

I totally agree with other reviewers; it called for too much sugar. I used only half of the amount of sugars. The direction might be needed more in detail, for I didn't know what to do with the bananas (mashed or just sliced?). It tasted good, though. Can't stop eating this.

This was good but there are so many sweet ingredients in this recipe, it really overwhelmed my tastebuds! I think it qualifies more as a dessert than a vegetable sidedish. Thanks, Debbie!
