Chocolate Banana Bites

Ingredients:

• 2 large bananas

• 1/4 to 1/3 cup dark chocolate (>70%)

• 1/4 to 1/3 cup natural peanut butter (organic) or almond butter

• Unsweetened coconut flakes

Directions:

1. Set out a large plate or bowl with a piece of parchment or wax paper on it.

2. Cut up the bananas into good-sized chunks. Each banana should give you around 5 to 6 pieces.

3. Heat the peanut butter and chocolate chips in the microwave/or on stove for about a minute. Then stir until smooth. Careful not to burn—burnt pb is iiiick.

4. 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).

5. Then sprinkle the unsweetened coconut flakes on top. Transfer to the freezer for about an hour until hardened.

6. You can enjoy them like this (but they aren't completely frozen yet -- and when they're frozen, the banana is creamy and tastes like vanilla ice cream).

Warning

These melt fast while eating….though that’s not usually a problem for me ha.
