For reasons known only to my psyche, I was kinda of fixated on banana bread for a while. Quick breads are fun, and easy and taste good, so I guess that’s a good enough reason.
In any case, I ran into this cute recipe and thought it sounded great, since I remember those childhood days of s’mores around the campfire at girl scout outings. This seemed a bit reminiscent of that, so it seemed a good idea.
It turned out well, though I never found the “Kraft Marshmallow bits”, I simply used miniature marshmallows and they worked fine.
So do up a batch, especially if you have kids who will no doubt love the surprise in the center!

Note: Recipe is from Picky Palate. This is a nice recipe to make with kids. Drizzle with some melted chocolate and some plain glaze colored with orange food coloring and you have a nice Halloween looking dessert they will enjoy.
