This is a super yummy snack that will take care of your sweet tooth and is still a little on the healthier side! Also makes a special after school snack for the kids!
Ingredients:
1 banana – cut into chips
peanut butter
milk chocolate
milk
First, cut up the banana into small chip sized pieces.
Next, using a knife, add peanut butter to each of the banana tops. Place in the freezer for about an hour to harden up the banana, this makes it easier to dip.
After the bananas have frozen through, add water into a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Place your chocolate into a large metal bowl, and place the bowl over top of the boiling water – this makes a homemade double boiler.
While the chocolate is beginning to melt, add a small bit of milk to make the chocolate a creaming, pour-able mixture.
After the chocolate has been melted to desired thickness, use a fork to dip the banana pieces into the chocolate and a spoon to completely coat each piece.
Place the chocolate covered bananas back on the baking sheet. Once all have been covered, place back in the freezer for about an hour to harden the chocolate.
After the chocolate has hardened, enjoy these little mini bites as a snack or an after dinner treat!
Store the extras in a freezer ready plastic container to enjoy another day!
