#488: Frozen Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bites


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.
