Banana Split Cake Bites

My typical Friday night usually consists of the following:
Red wine.
Popcorn.
Dove Chocolate.
Endlessly mocking the women on Say Yes to the Dress. 
I swear it isn’t as pathetic as it sounds.  (OK, maybe it is. I have no shame. Those girls are insane).
 However, some weekends I actually act like a social human being.  I know- crazy sauce.  Sometimes I put on my good, not frayed at the bottom, jeans.  I throw on my shiny shoes.  I rock a cute shirt. I take public transit into lovely city of DC.  I reconnect with some of the coolest people I know. We stroll around The National Mall, visit a couple museums, and eat pizza slices the size of my forearm.  And we gaze at the Cherry Blossom trees that are the epitome of spring in DC.
 These trees are probably one of my favorite things about living here.  They’re absolutely gorgeous.  So in the spirit of the trees, I wanted to make something cherry-y.  Yeah, I know that cherries don’t come from cherry blossoms trees but for my sake, we’re just going to act like they do.  Coolness? Pretty please with a cherry on top? (see what I did there- I’m so clever;)
 My fav thing with a cherry on top? That’s a no brainer- A banana split.  But I really can’t bring myself to make (and then devour) an entire banana split.  No matter how much I would love to.  So I made the next best thing:  non-melting, bite-sized banana split cake balls.
