Directions

1. Cover a baking sheet with plastic wrap or parchment paper.
2. Cut the banana into ¼ inch slices and spread out on the covered baking sheet.
3. In a small bowl, soften the peanut butter by microwaving for 30 seconds.
4. Drizzle the peanut butter over the banana slices, or pipe overtop using a piping bag.
5. In a separate DRY bowl, melt the chocolate chips using the microwave (melt in 15 seconds intervals, mixing in between, to avoid overheating).

7. Drizzle the chocolate overtop of the peanut butter covered bananas, or pipe using a piping bag.
8. Place bites into the freezer (uncovered) for 2-3 hours until the bananas are completely frozen.
