There are bananas. And then there are Dianas Bananas. Dianas started in the mid-80s, as the delicious result of an inspired whim. There in our booth at The Taste of Chicago, the citys yearly open-air food fest, we hit upon the idea of freezing a fresh, ripe banana and giving it a bath in delicious chocolatier-grade melted bar chocolate. We each took a bite and passed it around. Our taste buds leapt for joy... and we sprung into action. We sent our team to the local supermarkets and cleaned them out of bananas. Around the clock, we melted chocolate, peeled bananas, inserted sticks, froze the bananas and dunked them in chocolate... oh, and we also sold the living daylights out of them. Ten days and 25,000 bananas later, we knew we had a hit on our hands. It became apparent that people felt as strongly about Banana Babies as we did. Soon enough we took our rightful place in the grocers freezerand your home!
