Dessert Quesadilla Take 2

Didn't take a picture of this one, but I just wanted to let ya'll know that I made more quesadilla's for my boys and they ate them up.  This time I didn't have any marshmallow, so I substituted banana's.  A little healthier version, I guess.  It's hard to beat peanut butter, chocolate, and banana's. 

By the way, I was just interested to know if anyone has tried out any of the recipes.  I would love to hear some feedback.  Thanks!
