Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Scones with Brown Sugar Glaze

Yes, banana bread put into scone form, now, one word is coming to the forefront of my mind- YUM! but I seem to use that word a lot don't !? So, I shall go to a trusty thesaurus! I hope it counts "yum" as a word...

Under yummy, the thesaurus says: ambrosial, appetizing, choicedelectable,delightfuldivineenticingfit for a king, good,heavenlyjuicylusciousmouthwatering,nectarous, out of this world, palatablepiquant,pleasantrichsapid, savoryscrumptious,spicysucculentsupersweettastefultasty,temptingtoothsome



I don't know about nectarous, since these certainly do not taste like nectar, I would not be giving it a rave review if it did. Nor is it spicy, last time I checked, that's not a synonym for "yummy" what if you had a really good sourdough bread, and you taste it, and then look at whoever made it and said, "That's spicy!" I think I would be quite concerned if my bread was spicy... The same for sweet. And I'm not quite sure what toothsome is supposed to mean... I guess it means yummy, but toothsome? Some tooth? Hm.. maybe something that pleases your tooth? I don't know, it's the English language!


Anyways, I kind of got distracted- These. Scones. Are. Amazing. And there's only about 4 tablespoons of sugar in them, so they're practically healthy! But don't worry, they aren't bland and like weird un-sweet bitter banana scones, no, no, the scones themselves taste good, but they also have a DELICIOUS brown sugar glaze made of butter, milk, and vanilla extract, you know, the ushe (usual, but you know when people just shorten  it to like you-sh, just like the sound the "us" makes of it, and I'm spending a lot more time explaining this than necessary, but you know what I mean hopefully!)  and then-more than all of those combined- brown sugar and powdered sugar! So I kind of just wanted to like drink that but I think then I would puke, and I'm getting one of those sweet sores- so no more sugar for me, because I'm going on vacation soon, and I want it to be gone by then for maximum vacation enjoyment!


My family has also sampled some and their thoughts are-
Mommy- FANTASTIC! Even better than banana bread!
Daddy- Warm, moist, and delicious!
Ethan- 6 out of 10.
Me- (see above)
If you want a tough critic with no experience to back his judging with, then you should look at Ethan's comments, but otherwise I suggest you don't take the bad ones to heart, and the good ones as a sign of the food being amazing. I think he secretly likes these.


So basically, to sum this post up into three words- YUM! MAKE THEM!


Although, if you would like that grammatically correct and embellished to sound more fancy, it would be more like thirteen words-These are really quite delicious, you should make them whenever you next can!

Marshmallow Monster Cookies

One cup of chocolate chips. One cup of peanut butter chips. One cup of white chocolate chips. One cup of marshmallows.  Probably four cups of peanut butter cookie dough. now, if my math is correct (which I'd say the chances are pretty likely of) there about as much added goodness as there is yummy dough. Now, hm, let's see... carry the one... add the four... add the fifty... carry the five... AHA! It's delicious!

These were quite amazing and my taste buds were definitely not mad at me when I ate them, to put it into poetic form! I made them with a friend, and we made a giant cookie that was about bigger than both of our faces, and that was better than the normal cookies because it turned out softer, and therefore were optimum for maximum enjoyment! The regular ones turned out crunchy for some reason, but they were still really good!

I got the recipe from a magical little website called foodgawker.com where you gawk at food, it's not that complicated. Just search for Marshmallow Monster Cookies and you'll be led right there, and perhaps to other scrumdiddlyumptious recipes!
