Chocolate Banana & Peanut Butter Bites

Category: Dessert / Sweets

Preparation Time: 15-20 Minutes

Yield: ~23-25 Bites(1/4 Inch Slices)

Recipe By Chef: Paige Mountain

Cover a baking sheet with plastic wrap or parchment paper.
Cut the banana into ¼ inch slices and spread out on the covered baking sheet.
In a small bowl, soften the peanut butter by microwaving for 30 seconds.
Drizzle the peanut butter over the banana slices, or pipe overtop using a piping bag.
In a separate DRY bowl, melt the chocolate chips using the microwave (melt in 15 seconds intervals, mixing in between, to avoid overheating).
If chocolate is not a pourable consistency, add drops of oil to soften as needed.
Drizzle the chocolate overtop of the peanut butter covered bananas, or pipe using a piping bag.
Place bites into the freezer (uncovered) for 2-3 hours until the bananas are completely frozen.
Once frozen, remove from the baking sheet and transfer to a freezer safe storage container.
Place immediately back into freezer.

Oil for the chocolate can be fractioned coconut, canola, or vegetable. Other oils such as olive or avocado can also be used, but there may be a flavor change to the chocolate.
The bites should be eaten while frozen, otherwise they will become mushy when defrosted.
Recipe yield will vary depending on banana size (adjust quantity of bananas, peanut butter, and chocolate accordingly)
Almond butter or seed butters can also be used.
