Coconut candy, passion fruit butter and banana bread

We went to a stand in Maui called Julias Banana Bread and this is what we bought:
 I HATE coconut but my mom loves it. She said this was the best candy in the world and it is made by cooking fresh cocanut in water and sugar cane
 we dipped the banana bread in the passion fruit butter. YUM. My mom made some when we got home and its way better because she put a vanilla bean in it
 the lady named Julia uses strawberry bananas and no eggs in the banana bread
 the bread was perfectly baked and sooooo good
This is the really bad road we had to drive to get the banana bread and it was so scary.

Pineapple Grill in Maui

So we went to Pineapple Grill and its the same owner as my favorite restaurant in San Diego the prado.

 This is Chef Issac. He's really super cool.
This is Chris and he knows Chef Jonathan at the prado. he is the owner of pineapple grill. He's really nice too. They have really good food too. YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fruity mellow crunch cookie

So we saw some leftover fruty pebbles crunch in the pantry and decided to make a new cookie.
Here it is. i made up the name because blackberry-fruity pebbles-marshmellow cookie was too long.
 we used the bluberries and cream cookie recipe from momofuku and left out the milk crumb and added little tiny marshmellow bites from kraft and the fruty pebbles crunch from momofuku and some freeze dryed blackberries.
well I picked out the blackberries because I dont like the seeds!

white chocolate macadamia nut caramel popcorn

ok well my Mom made the caramel corn because I might burn myself. I piped the white chocolate on.

it was hard to pipe the choclate in little lines without it going everywhere.
The recipe came from David lebovitz blog and we changed it a little.
