Ingredients
- 2 pieces ripe bananas
- 4 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup crushed nuts (optional)
- 6 pieces toothpicks or wooden skewers
- 1 sheet parchment paper
Directions
Step 1
Peel the ripe bananas and slice them into 1-inch thick rounds.
Step 2
Spread a small amount of peanut butter (about 1 teaspoon) on one side of half the banana slices.
Step 3
Top each peanut butter-covered banana slice with another banana slice, sandwiching the peanut butter in between.
Step 4
Insert a toothpick or skewer through each banana sandwich to hold it together.
Step 5
Line a plate or baking tray with parchment paper and set the banana sandwiches on it.
Step 6
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully melted.
Step 7
Dip each banana sandwich halfway into the melted chocolate, ensuring an even coating.
Step 8
If desired, sprinkle crushed nuts onto the chocolate-coated portion for added texture and flavor.
Step 9
Place the coated banana sandwiches back on the parchment-lined plate or tray.
Step 10
Refrigerate the banana treats for 30 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens.
Step 11
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
