Recipe Intro From thefeedfeed
If there’s one thing that pairs beautifully with chocolate as well as marshmallow, it’s bananas! So when trying to amp up our s’mores game, it was an easy choice to develop these Bananas Foster S’mores, which combine the richness of caramel with tender bananas and a splash of rum for spirit. It was the perfect concoction to top Ghirardelli Sea Salt Caramel Squares with, giving us the salty-sweet punch we crave in a dessert.
You definitely want ripe bananas for bananas foster, but don’t venture into banana-bread-level-ripeness, or your beautiful coins won’t hold their shape with cooked in hot caramel. You can even make this up to a day in advance, just let it temper to room temperature if you’ve chilled it.
There’s no need to be salty when you’ve got s’mores like these!

In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add brown sugar and cook until bubbling and dissolved, 2 minutes.
