Black n' White Waffle Banana Split Sammich 'Splosion!

The time has come to reveal the result of our visionary vision!  Black n' White Waffle Banana Split Sammiches!  Whoa.  Yeah, I know.  Let it sink in for a moment, take a seat if you have to.

A little backstory while you calm yourself the heck down.  While I was sick, I was wishing for my family.  Awww, etc.  I get pretty pathetic and helpless when I'm incapacitated.  But I got to thinking about a lovely treat my uncle once made for me eons ago in order to bribe me to clean my room and take a bath before my parents got home.  I was like...maybe 5 or 6.  I was highly food motivated, like a small Labrador puppy.  He toasted two eggo waffles and put a scoop of vanilla and a scoop of chocolate ice cream in between them.  I could have half while I was cleaning my room and half when I got in the bathtub.  And let me tell you something:  If you've never sat in the bath playing with barbies and my little ponies and eating an ice cream sandwich made of waffles...You.  Have.  Not.  Lived.

Flash forward to 2011.  I am sad and alone and sick in LA.  I wish I were home in NY.  I also wish I had Black n' White cookies, which I associate with home.  Comfort food and nostalgia then brought me to the following epiphany:  The BWWBSS.  (BlackandWhiteWaffleBananaSplitSammich duh).

So here you have it!  WARNING:  This is one sweet beast.  Split it with a loved one.  Or a liked one whom you wish to become a loved one.  This might do the trick. :)

Black n' White Waffle Banana Split Sammiches (BWWBSS's) 

Step One:  Toast two frozen waffles until they're about golden brown.  Watch them so they don't burn!  Put them aside for a few moments to cool.
Step Two:  Get yourself two microwave safe bowls.  Fill one with dark chocolate morsels (or milk chocolate if you're a wimp who doesn't like hard cocoa!), and one with white morsels.

Comme ça!

Next, add a teaspoon of water to each bowl and nuke those bad boys for 1 min 30 seconds each.  Stir midway through if you notice it's bubbling.  Now, here's the tricky part!  You need to spread the melted chocolate on the waffles ASAP while it's still pretty molten.  Otherwise it gets awfully gummy and quite difficult to spread.  Grab a small sauce brush and get crackin', one side at a time!

Whoooaaa, we're halfway the-re!

Do the white chocolate side and then don't touch it!  Stick them in the fridge for about 30-40 minutes so the chocolate shell hardens.

Super best friends!

Busy yourself with something important while they harden.  You could probably do about 5,500 jumping jacks (exercise!).  You could write a couple limericks (creativity!).  Or you could make your bed as though you're inexplicably expecting company, like I did.  Exhilarating life I lead.

Take the ice cream out of the freezer a few minutes before you're ready to spread it so it softens.  It doesn't have to be vanilla, but a plainer ice cream sort of balances out the hyper-sweetness of the waffles.  I went and picked Tahitian Vanilla Gelato.  Because I'm a fancy lady.

Momma brought the big guns.

Then, slice your nanners!  We ended up with way more banana slices than we needed, so midway munching is very much encouraged.  About 5 slices will do the trick.

 The rest should be pretty obvious:  Spread your softened ice cream onto one of your waffles, black n' white side down.

Then pile on the banana slices and drizzle a hearty helping of chocolate fudge sauce.  Add the top black n' white waffle, smoosh it all together, and give it a little whipped cream and crushed walnut hat:

Beyonce, can you handle this?  I don't think you can handle this, woooo!

Now quick, before it melts: Show that sammich who's boss and cut it in half to share with your loved one of choice!

Wear a bib.  Srsly.
