Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Popsicles - I Will Create Food!


Sometimes the simplest desserts are the best.  Ask anyone that has had a S'more.  Some of the best warm weather treats are frozen banana popsicles.  The simple combination fruit and chocolate never fail to satisfy.  To add another layer of awesome to our popsicles, we've started to add a layer of peanut butter.  They are amazing!

You will need:
A couple of ripe bananas
a few tbsp of your favorite peanut butter (we use all natural peanut butter to keep the popsicles from getting too sweet)
one bag of dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips
Toothpicks

First slice the bananas into an even number of slices.

Next add a daub of peanut butter to one of the slices.  Then, using a toothpick, stick a second slice to the top. 
This can get messy.

Once you get all of your banana/peanut butter sandwiches made pop them into the freezer for a bit.  It'll help when you dip them.  While you're waiting,  melt your chocolate in a shallow bowl.  

Then start dipping.
I use a spoon to make sure I get a nice even coating.

Put them back into the freezer for a while to harden the chocolate.  After about 15 minutes you will have amazing (sort of) healthy popsicles.

But get one quick....they don't last long around here!
