I Already Knew I Grossed Me Out. Now It's Your Turn!

I have no self control when it comes to food. For real. This is why I honestly can't keep anything sweet and delicious in my kitchen lest I gorge myself on whateveritisohmygodIdon'tcarejustfeedmenow the first night after purchase and am then forced to feel regretful and guilty, and quite possibly be ultimately compelled to use a machine next to GCG at the gym for the entire next week.

Since there was nothing legitimately sweet in my kitchen back in college, I remember allaying cravings by melting Smart Balance on a Wasa crisp bread and then sprinkling Splenda and cinnamon on top. I know right.

These days I don't deny myself everything but I still can't justify keeping cookies or ice cream around with any frequency. I always tell myself I'd just eat one Hershey's nugget an evening if I bought the bag but somehow I inevitably wind up with 15 wrappers in front of me at the end of each of the two whole days the package lasts. This is unless, of course, the chocolate in question is some of that supa bitter Lindt chocolate that your boyfriend bought you one time after you professed your love for all things dark chocolate and which is just oh.my.god. so bitter and which, for real, thank you so much for that honey it was so thoughtful, but the part where I told you I liked it? yeah I lied, and I could eat no more than like 1/4th a square bi-weekly. Then again, hello, tis gone all the same.

Usually when there's nothing around I can make due with a cup of sweet tea or a piece of fruit, but this evening I still had a savior in the form of one last diet pudding cup. After even that (surprise!) didn't quench the urge, it was time for desperate measures. Frozen bananas are super sugary and more delicious than you might remember, but fruit alone does nothing for my chocoholism. That's when the magic shell comes in. I had it leftover from my adventures in ice cream cake-ing and had kind of forgotten about it (see: lack of ice cream in the house) until a light bulb totally went off in my head today in terms of pairing the two. Once you get over the fact that if your forget to shake up the magic shell first it totally just pours out nasty oil which ruins your banana half and forces you to get a new bowl since your old one is now so greasy and gross and eww? it's totally a delightful dessert.
