One brand I found costs over $20 for a 750 ml. bottle, and the other costs about half that - except it says "creme de banana" - for cocktail mixes.

Should I assume that the more expensive brand is what bananas foster recipes call for, since I don't quite know the difference between the brands other than the price?

You can leave out the liqueur and just use dark rum.

If you wan to make an authentic bananas Foster, use the banana

deal uses banana liqueur:

If she's talking about Hiram Walker CdB that would work fine.

The *right* thing- as the originator did it- is to use the liqueur.

But I must say I've never bothered with either-- The bananas, rum,
butter, and sugar make a fine dish with lots of flavor and pizzazz.
