It has been extremely hot here these last few weeks in Georgia. Every year I wonder why we have to go back to school so early in August...the hottest part of the summer?!?! It's just miserable.
My runs have been sauna baths, and the memes for the heat(Although funny) are sadly true!
We are looking forward to cooler weather!
I don't think there's anything more satisfying than the combination of chocolate and peanut butter. I found these delicious treats on pinterest and was not disappointed in their deliciousness. And they have a fruit, so it's healthy, right?!
INGREDIENTS
2 large bananas, cut into approximately 2-inch pieces
3/4 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup creamy natural peanut butter, or nut or seed butter of choice pinch Coarse salt for sprinkling
INSTRUCTIONS
Spread a sheet of wax/parchment paper over a cookie sheet, large plate or cutting board that will fit in the freezer.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and peanut butter together in four 30-second intervals, stirring in between. After a minute, stir until completely smooth. The residual heat should take care of melting whatever didn't melt in the microwave(took about 40 seconds total for me - just depends of the heat of your microwave).
Spear a banana slide in the center with something thin, like a toothpick or skewer.
Dip in the chocolate and coat completely. Tap firmly several times on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate then drop on the wax paper.
Sprinkle with a pinch of coarse salt.
Repeat with the rest of the banana bites and leave them on the wax paper to dry slightly before transferring the entire plate/cookie sheet/cutting board to the freezer.
Allow the bites to solidify in the freezer for at least an hour before eating or transferring to an airtight container for storage.
Store in the freezer in an airtight container until immediately before you are ready to eat them.
Super Easy and Super Yummy - Enjoy!
