Peanut Butter Chocolate Covered Banana Bites


Yes, you hit it. The mother load of delicious peanut butter and chocolate goodness. 

These sweet and salty, perfectly portioned little nuggets are a great dessert, after school snack, or party treat.... like a SUPERBOWL party (hint hint).

Trust me, you're going to want to give this one a try (this Sunday)!

Ingredients
1/4 cup smooth peanut butter (smooth peanut butter from Trader Joe's works great)
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon (or less- depends on how sweet you want it) of raw honey
1 cup dark chocolate chips
2 tablespoon coconut oil 
2 bananas, sliced crosswise into 1/4"-inch pieces


Directions
Mix peanut butter, plain Greek yogurt, and honey in a separate bowl, until smooth. Scoop into a zip lock bag and cut the corner. Set aside.

Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 60 seconds. Stir until completely melted and smooth. Microwave for longer if needed. 

Coat a mini muffin pan with cooking spray. Spoon a teaspoon of melted chocolate into the bottom of muffin cups. Place one banana slice on top of chocolate.


Next, squeeze about a teaspoon of peanut butter mixture on top of the banana slice. 

Cover with another small spoonful of chocolate. 

Alternatively, if you don't want to use a muffin tin, you can use wax paper. Simply, top banana slices with the peanut butter mixture and then coat with chocolate on top of the waxed paper. 


Place mini muffin pan (or waxed paper) into the freezer for at least 30 minutes. Pop out chocolates and enjoy :)
