German Chocolate Pancake & Caramel Sauce With Peaches And Bananas

Sometimes you come to a crossroad and have to make a fundamental decision from which there is no return –
” Should I eat this pancake or not ” ?!!!
Because I am a diabetic, this dish probably cost me one week of my life. But then again – I used to smoke, drink and do a whole lot of other ungodly stuff and I am still around.
Who would have thought that eating a pancake could be so wickedly dangerous……….. 🙂
Anyway, I am happy to report that the risk was well worth it. I actually had two of these babies and feel no regret’s. I won’t have another one for a long time to come (probably), but I’ll decide when I am at that crossroad again 🙂
