This was time consuming to make. Seperating all the rolls, brushing them, filling them, sealing them. SO many steps and it was SO messy! Next time I'll know what I am in for. The nice thing about the recipe is you can change it up with whatever ingredients you like, and exact messurements aren't necessary. I like the idea of doing individual ones, I think I'll try that next time!

First, I would like to thank Ms. Paula and Michelle for sharing this recipe. My family and I really enjoyed the rolls. I took advice from other reviewers and baked as individual rolls within a muffin pan. Since I used a convection oven, I set the temperature to 325 and only allowed the bread to cook for 15-20 minutes. When I saw the sugary mixture bubbling over, I knew it was time to take it out. The kids loved it! My only warning to others is that it is very sweet if you use the same measurements when using the muffin size. I will definitely make again!

Too sweet, too buttery--trust me, I love sweets and I love butter but it is possible to overdo both. I had high hopes for this recipe when I saw PD make it on TV but as much as I enjoy the sweetest things in life, this was actually sickening. The problem was the brown sugar and butter syrup--too much of a good thing. Bananas and chocolate are a winning combination and this recipe isn't actually difficult or too messy--just work quickly on waxed paper. I will not make this recipe again because of the overpowering sweetness that doesn't even feel good on the tongue.

This is delicious! And I'm not sure why so many people are complaining about the mess. This was one of the least messy baking projects I've taken on for a while now. I did all of the dough pouch making on a piece of parchment paper, and clean up took about 5 minutes. I will definitely be making this again, and I think the kids I nanny for will have a blast helping me out :

I cannot imagine why anyone would give this a bad review. My 11 year old daughter and I made these today and they were SOOOOO YUMMY! Chocolate and banana in every bite, and no more messy than any other treat to make in my opinion. My daughter even commented on how easy they were to do! Will definitely make these again! Thanks!

Made this for a big family dinner and was a HUGE crowd pleaser resulting in having to distribute the recipe to many family members! Absolutely delicious...just keep in mind you need to serve within minutes of taking it out of the oven, so not the dessert to make and take with you already done. However, what I did was make the entire cake a few hours before and actually baked it when I got the dinner. It kept very well and all the legwork was done beforehand. Also left off the nuts.

Hmmm......I was a bit disappointed with this recipe. I am an experienced cook and followed the recipe closely. I couldn't taste much of the banana or the chocolate. I used reduced fat crescent rolls, which seemed fine, but as a whole I expected something different. I have a great recipe for monkey bread with cinnamon and sugar and big biscuits and it is wonderful, so I guess I was expecting this recipe to be the same. I like the idea of putting each rolled up crescent triangle in individual muffin cups--I will try that next time and compare how they come out. Maybe I'll try using the banana and chocolate in my other monkey bread recipe and see how that comes out. Anyway, thanks, Paula, for the fun of watching you on tv!

No one in my family cared for this and it took alot of time and money to make. It's just not worth the time or the mess.

I made this for Memorial Day. Had my grandaughter helping. I sprayed the pan, still stuck. Bread was a little hard to cut. Flavor was good, especially when served with homemade vanilla ice cream. I think it could have used more banana.
