Soul Food

This is a tribute to Roy "Gramps" Johnson.

While Mama Suzy was visiting us in Santa Fe recently, she asked Andy if he remembered one of his grandfather's favorite evening treats, "Soul Food." At first, I thought they were talking about fried chicken and mashed 'taters. "No, this is ice cream and...what did he put on top of it again?" They lived with Gramps during Andy's childhood on Sanibel Island in Florida, so the recipe was shared with the family. Since Gramps always had a stock-pile of mini-snickers and Dr. Pepper available, it's no surprise that he came up with this sinful little concoction:

What's in it:

Vanilla ice cream (number of scoops? plenty)

Sliced banana

Hershey's syrup

Salted peanuts

Sweet-and-salty.

We decided to use spanish peanuts and add in a chunk of frozen snickers bar.

Um, yum.

Thanks Gramps.
