Chocolate-Dipped Banana Bites with Peanut Butter

Pin to Pinterest

I wanted to share with you one of my favorite recipes! This is a go to recipe for the kids and I and it is so easy, really just takes minutes. Sometimes we use the recipe with chocolate (the kids love that) but other times I sneak a few for myself in the freezer (without chocolate) and have a couple recovery bites after the gym! Each banana makes about 7 bites (14 slices) so you can multiply or reduce as you need. We are pretty obsessed with Jif Creamy Peanut Butter (I mean who isn’t) but also consider a natural peanut butter if you are watching your diet/sugar intake. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 3 Bananas (1 banana makes 7 bites)
• 1 Cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 Cup creamy peanut butter
• Decorating bag
• Bamboo skewers

Directions:

1. Slice your bananas into 1/2″ pieces.
2. Scoop your peanut butter into a decorating bag and cut the tip off the end.
3. Frost the top of half of the banana with peanut butter and skewer another plain banana.
4. Then skewer the peanut butter banana to sandwich the two together.
5. In a small microwave safe bowl, heat your chocolate chips on 50% power for 2-3 minutes stirring every 30 seconds until melted.
6. Hold the skewered banana bite, dip the side into the chocolate, place onto a piece of parchment paper, and into the freezer.
7. After they’ve been in the freezer for 15 minutes they are ready to eat or you can keep them frozen for a treat later on.

Note: Also consider freezing these after you make them. I love them frozen (even without chocolate, they make a great after work0ut snack!)
