FOR CHOC. SAUCE

Place the chocolate and cream in a double boiler over medium heat. Stir until chocolate is melted. Stir in Kahlua; cool; reserve.

FOR CARAMEL SAUCE

Heat sugar in saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until it just turns amber in color, 5 to 7 min.

Carefully add water a little at a time. Bring to a boil, stirring with a metal spoon until all of the sugar dissolves and sauce becomes syrupy.

Remove sauce from heat; reserve. Sauce will thicken as it cools.

To serve, place 2 banana halves on each of 4 chilled plates; place 1 scoop ice cream between banana halves; drizzle with chocolate and caramel sauces; serve immediately.
