I made this exactly as directed except I used mini chocolate chips instead of nuts. I have to admit, I didn't care for the large chunks of bananas, if I made this again I would mash them. I checked on this after 50 minutes and it was already pretty dark on the outside but the inside was not done. It's almost burned on the outside, giving it a crunchy crust. I made two, one in a glass loaf pan and one in a metal pan and they both came out this way. The flavor is wonderful though and I hope that the family I baked the second loaf for doesn't mind having it a bit crispy on the outside and chunky on the inside.

I made this recipe according to the directions and it tasted heavily like dry milk. I tried many of the suggestions on how to doctor it up but it was still bad. The best variation I could find was mask the dry milk flavor with a large dash of cinnamon and brown sugar but even then I would still prefer Swiss Miss or something else. Next year I think I'll just buy the big container of Swiss Miss at Sam's Club and add the marshmallows, chocolate chips and peppermint to decorate it. It looks pretty though, I used pizza shaped bags I got at the Christmas Tree Shop and trimmed it down, added mini chocolate chips, marshmallows and crushed peppermints and closed it with a ribbon. Hopefully I put in enough peppermint candy to mask the dry milk flavor.

These are so good and easy. I brought them to a bunko gathering and everyone love them?
