Bananas, chocolate, nuts and fruit - these cookies are reminiscent of that favorite childhood ice cream treat without the melting mess. Look for banana chips in your grocery store's dried fruit section or with produce.
- 1 box Duncan Hines® Milk Chocolate Brownie Mix
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 cup dried banana chips broken into small pieces
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup chopped maraschino cherries
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray baking sheets with nonstick cooking-spray.
- Combine brownie mix, oil, eggs and water; stir with a fork to combine into a stiff dough. Dough will seem dry, but will completely moisten as you stir. (Knead briefly by hand, in the bowl, if preferred.) Stir in banana chips, walnuts and cherries.
- Working with 1 heaping tablespoon of dough at a time, lightly roll dough into balls and place about 2 inches apart on baking sheets. Lightly press each ball with the heel of your hand to flatten slightly.
- Bake 12 minutes until just set in the center. Cool 1 minute on pans. Transfer to wire racks with metal spatula and cool completely.
Variation:
- Dried cherries can be substituted for maraschino cherries. For an additional chocolate punch, stir in 1/4 cup chocolate chips.

You listed the oil in the ingredient list, but not the eggs or water. Also, as I remember banana splits, there should be a pineapple component. Maybe some dried, chopped added in with the cherries...and a drizzle of melted across the top after cookies cool.

I also forgot with splits, the three piles of ice cream were topped with choc., pineapple and strawberry. So maybe with the banana chips, dried pineapple, throw in some dried strawberries and leave out the cherries!?
