I read about these amazing little desserts on Decorating the Elevator and just couldn’t wait to make them – peanut butter, bananas, and chocolate – what could be better. I also couldn’t believe I had never thought to make something like this. Chocolate covered frozen bananas are one of my favorite things and these are just as delicious (maybe more so with the peanut butter) and very easy. To lighten up the recipe a bit, I only dipped half the banana in chocolate and used reduced fat peanut butter.

Ingredients
4 bananas
1/4 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup reduced fat peanut butter

Instructions
1. Cut your bananas into smaller pieces (about 3/4 inch). I ended up getting about 9 pieces per banana.

2. Place chocolate chips and peanut butter into a small bowl and microwave for about 1 minute until melted. Stir together.

3. Place a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet. Dip the banana pieces into the chocolate sauce until covered halfway. Place on parchment paper. Freeze for at least one hour. For a harder texture, let freeze longer. Store in an airtight container in the freezer.

Note: If you include the bananas in your points calculation, you will get a higher point value.
