Frozen Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bites


Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1 1-ounce square unsweetened chocolate
  • 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons agave, or to taste
  • about 1/4 teaspoon natural peanut butter per banana slice
  • 3 peanut halves per banana slice

Instructions

  1. Cut the banana into 1/3 to 1/2-inch thick “coins.”  Spread with peanut butter and top with peanut halves.  Refrigerate while preparing the chocolate.
  2. Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 15-30 second increments, stirring in between, until just melted and smooth.  Add agave to achieve the level of sweetness you prefer.
  3. Remove the bananas from the fridge and, using a fork, dip the bananas in the chocolate, drizzling chocolate over the top and sides.  Allow excess chocolate to drip off.  I found it helpful to take a knife and scrape the excess away from the bottom of the fork.  Carefully, slide onto a baking sheet lined with wax or parchment paper.
  4. If the chocolate gets too firm, microwave for a few seconds to soften again.  When finished, place the banana bites in the freezer.  Once fully frozen, you may transfer to a covered container.
