Chocolate Covered Bananas with Peanut Butter and Sprinkle Coating
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas
- 1 cup of chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup of colorful sprinkles
Instructions
- Peel the bananas and cut them in half crosswise. Insert a popsicle stick into each banana half and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for at least 1 hour.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup of chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
- In another microwave-safe bowl, heat 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter for 30 seconds until it becomes smooth and pourable.
- Remove the frozen bananas from the freezer. Working quickly, dip each banana half into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the dipped bananas back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Drizzle the melted peanut butter over the chocolate-covered bananas using a spoon or piping bag.
- Sprinkle the colorful sprinkles over the peanut butter coating before it sets.
- Return the bananas to the freezer for 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate and peanut butter to set.
- Once set, the chocolate covered bananas with a peanut butter and sprinkle coating are ready to be enjoyed as a delicious snack or dessert!
