You know how it is – you open a few jars of Sweet & Saucy’s chocolate sauce for ice cream or a pie – and then you’ve got leftovers. The ice cream is gone, the pie is gone, and you’re ready to dive into the jar with a spoon.

But then you think that maybe there’s something a little more creative you could do with the sauce. But you don’t want to buy more ice cream …

It’s pretty easy to whip up a shake or smoothie using almost any flavor of Sweet & Saucy that you might have on hand. this time I used Frank’s Whiskey Caramel dipping sauce.

The beauty of a recipe like this is that you can start with the basics and add whatever you like. Have a banana that needs to be used? Toss that in! One last scoop of ice cream? Use it up! Want a thicker drink? Add more ice! Want to feel virtuous? Add some flax meal! Need to use up the last bits of heavy cream (and not feel virtuous)? In it goes! One miserable teaspoon of peanut butter left? Add that! Other fruit? Go for it!

The easiest way to measure the ingredients is to start with a 2-cup measuring cup, add the milk first, then add the remaining ingredients and watch the liquid level rise. If you add a little too much of something, it doesn’t matter. It’s not a precise formula.

1/2 cup milk

1/4 cup Greek-style yogurt

1/4 cup Frank’s Whiskey Caramel dipping sauce from Sweet & Saucy

1/4 cup ice cubes

Optional add-ins

Toss all the ingredients into the blender and blitz until the mixture is smooth and the ice is destroyed. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream, if you like.

Sweet & Saucy Fast Facts

“So good…it’s sinful.”

Owners: Jane & Erin Jones

Selling Since: 2003

Home Base: Centennial, CO

Owners Jane and Erin are a mother-daughter team who call themselves “Queen of All Things Chocolate” and “High Priestess of Caramel,” respectively.

“As long as we were picking titles, we may as well have fun ones. Erin wanted to be a high priestess, so I said, ‘Fine. I have to be queen,’” Jane said.

In addition to the chocolate sauces, they sell several flavors of caramel dipping sauce (like rum, whiskey, and chardonnay peach!) and white chocolate sauce.

The pair used to make gift baskets for friends at work. When they started asking about buying the goodies inside, Jane and Erin decided to go in business.

Now, they’re regulars at food and wine events across the country. Sweet & Saucy’s wine, whiskey, and rum-inspired flavors have enabled them to make a splash in both the food and beverage worlds.

I was an adult before I realized bananas could be cooked. And even longer before I realized that banana bread wasn’t the only way they could be cooked. The first cooked bananas I encountered were a little too fancy for everyday serving. Bananas Foster is a tasty dish, but not everyone wants to deal with flaming alcohol. This is quite a bit safer.

One of my favorite fruit combinations is bananas and Greek-style yogurt. The yogurt is thick and creamy, and it seems so decadent. But in reality, if you’re buying a plain, unsweetened version, even the full-fat version isn’t as calorie-laden as you might think. That combination makes a fine breakfast or snack, but as a dessert it cries out for just a tiny bit more indulgence.

Cooking bananas brings out their sweetness, and adding caramel sauce puts them over the top, making this recipe seem like a fabulously indulgent and ridiculously fancy dessert.

But looks are deceiving This simple dessert can be made in a few minutes with few ingredients. It’s light and sweet with the warm bananas contrasting with the cool yogurt. It would make a nice family dessert, but it’s different enough to serve to company.

Sweet & Saucy makes quite a few different products including gourmet chocolate sauce and caramels. I chose the Autumn Harvest Caramel Sauce for this dish, but any of their caramel sauces would be fine. Bananas might not be the first thing you think of when you hear “harvest” but the flavors matched perfectly.

For an even more decadent dessert, substitute ice cream for the yogurt. For added crunch, sprinkle some chopped nuts on top.

One banana is plenty for one person — or two, if you prefer more yogurt in each serving.

Recipe: Yogurt Parfait with Bananas & Caramel Sauce

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 banana, sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
• Several generous spoons of Sweet & Saucy Autumn Harvest Caramel Sauce
• 1/4 cup (or more, as desired) Greek-style yogurt

Heat the butter on medium heat in a nonstick pan. Cook the banana slices until they just begin to color on one side, then flip them over. Add the caramel sauce and stir to coat the bananas.

Take the bananas off the heat and layer the bananas and yogurt in serving bowls or glasses. Top with additional sauce, if desired.
