After Allison's birthday party, we had some left over melted chocolate so I decided to try this recipe for frozen peanut butter banana bites. Mine do not look nearly as pretty as the original picture, but they were definitely easier to make than I thought they might be. The hardest part was getting the peanut butter to actually stick to the banana slices.
FYI, these are delicious! So, so yummy. I'd definitely make these again with leftover bananas. Mmmm....
2 large bananas
1/4 cup natural peanut butter
1/2 cup chocolate chips (I used the store bought microwavable melted chocolate instead of the chocolate chips and milk)
1/4–1/3 cup milk of choice
Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper or parchment. Slice bananas into coins about 1/2–3/4 inch thick. Spread a little dollop of peanut butter on top of each one. In a small bowl, combine the chocolate chips and milk. Microwave in 15 second increments until you can whisk them together. You want it to be a dip-able consistency, not spreadable. Add a splash more milk if necessary.
Dip the banana chunks using a fork as a little chocolate coating forklift, dipping them into the melted chocolate. Place chocolate coated bananas on the prepared sheet and place in freezer until completely frozen (3–5 hours). Remove frozen banana chunks from the sheet and store in a freezer container.
