As a dessert you could drizzle it with warm cinnamon honey or chocolate sauce. Though everyone seems to agree Elvis like fried (or "grilled") peanut butter and banana sandwiches the notion that he had bacon added to them hasn't been firmly established. I think the idea might be a mix up of the facts that he liked fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches and he liked sandwiches with a lot of bacon on them. (In a documentary I saw one of Elvis's long time cooks said something like "I would fry a whole pound of bacon and he would it it on a sandwich.") As Elvis had a tendency for self indulgent excess it's easy to see how the idea that he might eat all his sandwich favorites on one sandwich came about.
