Foodporn hacks are all the rage these days and we’re certain that you’ve seen foodporn videos by Buzzfeed, Tastemade and the likes. It’s always something that’s encrusted with chocolate, peanut butter, cheese, or caramel. Before the videos end, we are solemnly tortured by a saliva-inducing shot of a half-eaten cross section of the snacks with its cream and juices oozing out.
The video ends and we’re forced to slap ourselves back into reality.

Bake at 350˚F /177˚C for 15-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let it cool before slicing out the graham crackers. (There will be leftover bits of brownie in between the slices to enjoy now! Mmmm.) Freeze the rectangular slices for one hour.
For the banana filling:
Peel and slice 3 bananas before freezing. In a blender, combine the bananas, vanilla, and maple syrup. Blend on high until creamy. Use a bag to squeeze the filling onto the crust. Top with another crust.
