Brush melted butter over base of a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup batter into pan. Repeat to make three pancakes.

Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface. Turn over. Cook for a further 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden underneath. Remove. Cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining melted butter and batter to make 12 pancakes in total.

To serve, stack three pancakes together on each serving plate. Top with bananas, warm fudge sauce and cream. Decorate with chocolate bar.
TIP! Pancakes can be cooked several hours ahead. Reheat, wrapped in foil in a moderately slow oven (160C) until warm, or serve cold. Sauce can be made up to one day ahead. Keep, covered, in the fridge. Reheat.
