A portable banana split sundae

Rich banana, whole milk powder & fine flavor vanilla combine with our fruity, single origin Esmeraldas cacao and freshly pressed cocoa butter for this very special treat!

This combination of flavors is, in the words of one public radio host, "spectacular."  We previewed this bar this past weekend at The Craft Chocolate Experience in San Francisco and the response was overwhelming - after we sold out people kept coming up to us to ask where they can get more!

The flavors are carefully balanced, so you'll taste the natural flavors of our single origin Esmeraldas cacao, the creamy organic banana, and the personally sourced Planifolia vanilla, along with the base of rich whole milk.  It's truly a banana split in bar form!



About the Vanilla

This is very special vanilla!  Mexico is the birthplace of vanilla, and has some of the most flavorful and sought after vanilla plants in the world.  Several years ago our farmer in Nicaragua, Giff Laube imported what is widely considered to be the gold standard:  Mexican Planifolia vanilla cuttings.  The vanilla needs to be cured, and how the curing is done has a big impact on flavor.  Giff uses the "bourbon" method, which is both time and labor intensive but results in incredibly rich vanilla flavor.

About the Banana

We spend a lot of time searching for authentic, natural flavors to complement our chocolate.  Sometimes they're very hard to find, which was the case with bananas.  All of the options either didn't taste quite right or contained some kind of artificial flavoring.  Then we came across Natierra - their organic, freeze dried bananas has an authentic, fresh, robust banana flavor.  And, of course, they're all natural.

About Organic West Milk

Organic West sources from family run dairies on the west coast.  All the cows are pasture raised, and their milk is always antibiotic, GMO and rBST free.  They buy milk on a regular basis at a stable price, which allows farmers to plan long term.  They’re able to do this because their facility allows them to turn the milk into many products, including the organic whole milk powder we use in this bar.

About our Esmeraldas Cacao

To craft this bar we start with beans we source directly from the Salazar family farm in the Esmeraldas region of Ecuador.  The Salazars have over one hundred acres of carefully cultivated, handpicked Nacional hybrid cacao trees.  They ferment and dry all of the beans themselves right on their farm, allowing for an exacting level of control over the entire process.  For more information about our Esmeraldas beans from the Salazar family farm in Ecuador please visit our Esmeraldas page.

For more information on fine flavor cacao, our personal approach to direct sourcing and our unique chocolate making process please visit our Fine Cacao, Our Chocolate and Our Process pages.

Very satisfying

This bar brings the best parts of being a kid in the summer into a delightfully grown up chocolate bar. Each taste of this bar brings the warmth of a campfire with a hint of mischief.

Banana Twist

A great chocolate bar - Dark, rich and a nice twist with Banana flavor but not too much.
I enjoy it just like that or with my expresso.
Perfect !

The best chocolate I've ever had.

The Chocolate Banana Split is just the perfect balance of banana and chocolate. I'm a milk chocolate person and this bar is made with dark chocolate, but it's perfect! I don't think it would be as amazing with milk chocolate - although, I would be willing to try it! Please bring it back!! I need to buy it as a gift for a friend who I know will appreciate it at least as much as I do!

Chocolate Banana Split

Some chocolate bars are meant to be savored in moments of quiet reflection, while others, like this Limited Release Chocolate Banana Split, are designed to bring pure joy and comfort to your palate. Goodnow Farms has taken the nostalgic flavors of a banana split ice cream and transformed them into a chocolate bar that delivers everything you love about the classic dessert—minus the cold spoonful.

One of the most remarkable things about this bar is how true it stays to its inspiration. The banana powder used here is impressive: its flavor is vibrant and natural, without being overly sweet or artificial. It’s the kind of ingredient that can only come from a deep respect for quality sourcing.

Vanilla, often underestimated, plays a starring role here as well. The specialty vanilla used in this bar adds layers of complexity. It’s warm, aromatic, and grounding, proving once again that vanilla is far more than just a "basic" ingredient.

This is a chocolate bar designed for indulgence, best enjoyed during those moments when you need a little comfort and familiarity. Goodnow Farms has successfully taken the essence of a dessert we all know and love and translated it into a sophisticated yet fun chocolate experience. It's delicious, it's "yummy," and it’s a reminder that not all chocolate needs to be overly complex to be exceptional.

I ordered two of these based on the description alone, and only wish I'd bought more. The banana gives such a beautiful balance to the chocolate. I'm treasuring the last few bites!
