How To Set Up a Banana Split Bar for Birthday Parties

May 29, 2015

When it comes to their birthday parties, my boys (ages nine and eleven) think nothing could possibly be better than a banana split bar. Nothing! And can you blame them? All of their favorite creamy, crunchy, and fresh sweet ingredients are spread out in pretty bowls, ready to be poured or spooned over bananas and ice cream!

This is a super fun summer birthday dessert idea. Kids and adults alike love to build their banana split, as they can choose all of their favorite things. There’s something for everyone, and the banana split birthday party is therefore a huge crowd-pleaser!

The ingredients listed below are merely suggestions—you can of course choose your own favorites.
