Who doesn't like a banana split? Fresh fruit, three flavors of ice cream and chocolate syrup. Yum. That vision was the subjective basis for a new product developed by a team of Virginia Tech students -- frozen bite-sized slices of banana filled with creamy chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry non-fat frozen yogurt and enrobed in dark chocolate. Called "Banana Splitters," the new confection is packaged as nine individual pieces -- three of each flavor -- in a sleeve, six sleeves in a package to be available next to the ice cream and other frozen goodies.
