Banana Wellingtons

Banana Wellingtons

For the Wellingtons:
8 to 12 sheets of phyllo dough
4 bananas (ripe, but not too ripe)
3 cups chocolate chips, semisweet or white
1 1/2 cups salted pecans, chopped
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, melted

For Topping:
Whipped cream
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted

Note: Have all ingredients (except for the topping ingredients) ready
prior to removing the phyllo from the package.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Take two or three stacked sheets of phyllo dough and brush generously
with melted butter. Place one banana on the dough, sprinkle with a
handful of chocolate chips and about a 1/2 handful of pecans. Wrap
the banana, chocolate and pecans up in a triangular shape and again,
brush banana wellingtons generously with melted butter.

Place on well greased pan and bake in a 400 degree F oven for about
15-20 minutes. Check often, you do not want to burn the phyllo! The
phyllo should be a golden brown when removed.

Let cool for 5 or 10 minutes and then drizzle with melted chocolate
and put a nice dollop of whipped cream on top.
