{frozen} chocolate peanut butter banana bites

I'm back! After being out of my kitchen for four days, I was ready to jump

back in… even if it was making something as simple, semi-healthy, and delicious as these

yummies!

Frozen Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bites

-3 large bananas

1/2 cup chocolate chips (either semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

1/2 cup peanut butter (I used creamy, but crunchy would work too! It would just have chunks in it . . . obviously)

Toppings (optional)- I used crushed peanuts and coconut . . . but anything goes!

Set out a pan (I used a small cookie sheet) with a piece of wax paper on it.

Cut up the bananas into good-sized chunks. Each banana should give you around 6-8 pieces.

Heat the peanut butter and chocolate chips in the microwave on high for about a minute. Then stir until smooth.

Dip the banana pieces in the chocolate-peanut butter mixture. Lay them out leaving some space between them on the parchment/wax paper. Then when you've "covered" them all, use the remaining mixture to spoon over the tops (for even more chocolate-y goodness).

Top with toppings (if you want them!). Transfer to the freezer for about an hour until hardened.

You can enjoy them like this (but they really aren't frozen yet -- and when they're frozen, the banana tastes like vanilla ice cream) . . . I suggest then covering with some plastic wrap (or in a Tupperware/Rubbermaid container) and let freeze overnight.

Enjoy!
