Line a 9"by13" pan with one layer of Club crackers, unbroken. Boil butter,graham cracker crumbs, sugars and milk for five minutes; carefully pour over Club crackers. Add another layer of crackers. Melt chocolate chips and peanut butter. Spread carefully over crackers and cool.

Cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally. cover and refrigera for 11/2 hours or until easy to handle. 2. In a small bowl, combine sugar and cocoa. Shape chocolate mixture into 1-in. balls; roll in cocoa mixture or, if desired, assorted sprinkles. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. That is if you do not eat them all first!!!! We did not roll very many in cocoa powder, we rolled them in white sugar, but you can roll them in nuts or any thing you like!!!!

Cream together the eggs, sugar, pumpkin, and melted butter. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda,cinnamon, and nuts. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes in a 10"by15" jelly roll pan. Frost when cool. Frosting: beat together cream cheese, 3/4 stick butter, powder sugar, vanilla milk. I used a 9" by 13"  pan and baked it for longer. It is fabulous!!!!

  Peel bananas and cut lengthwise. Saute in batches in olive oil , transferring with a slotted spoon to a 9 by 13 pan. Make a mixture of orange juice, honey and cinnamon. Pour over the bananas and bake at 300 degrees for about 15 minutes. Serve in bowls plain or with yoghurt.
