Chocolate Peanut Butter Covered Frozen Bananas

March 8, 2012

These were brought to a party a few weeks back. When I asked Heather where she got the recipe, she said Pinterest. I love Pinterest. Thank you for bringing amazing things to my life.

I immediately searched for them and found them on (never home)maker’s site. That night I dreamt about bananas. No joke.

I blame the crazy pregnancy dreams.

2 large bananas
1/3 cup dark semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/3 cup natural peanut butter

Directions:
1. Prepare a baking sheet covered with parchment paper or wax paper. Cut your bananas in ~1 inch slices.


2. Throw the chocolate chips and peanut butter together in a microwave safe bowl. Heat for 1-2 minutes at a time stirring every minute to make sure it doesn’t burn.


3. Dip the banana pieces in the chocolate-peanut butter mixture. Lay them out leaving some space between them on the parchment/wax paper. Then when you’ve “covered” them all, use the remaining mixture to spoon over the tops.


4. Stick the pan in the freezer for a few hours and then put them in a container to keep in the freezer. Makes ~20 banana bites (depends on how big you slice the bananas).

Nutrition Notes: At around 50 calories a piece, these are perfect for a craving without going overboard!

Taste Test: Clearly these are life changing. People don’t dream about bananas for nothing! ;)

Enjoy!
