Ingredients
Baking Ingredients
- 2 boxes red velvet cake mix (16.5 oz each)
- 6 large eggs
- 2/3 cup vegetable oil
- 6 very ripe bananas (mashed) For maximum sweetness
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 8 ounces white candy melts For topping
- to taste sprinkles For decoration
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line 5 loaf pans measuring 8" x 3 ¾" x 2 ½" with parchment paper. Lightly spray them with cooking spray.
Mix Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Add the mashed bananas and mix on low speed for 20 seconds, then on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
Add Chocolate and Nuts
- Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.
Bake
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pans, filling them two-thirds full. Bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Top
- Allow the loaves to cool in the pans for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. While cooling, melt the white candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and drizzle over the cooled loaves. Sprinkle with colorful sprinkles and let the topping set for 20-30 minutes.

Notes
Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and avoid over-mixing after adding chocolate chips and walnuts. Monitor baking time closely to prevent over-browning.
