Frozen Banana Bites

Introduction
These yummy little bites taste just like vanilla ice cream once the banana is frozen!
Ingredients
2 large bananas
1/4 cup chocolate chips (milk, semisweet, or dark)
1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
Optional: unsweetened coconut flakes or peanuts (optional ingredients are not figured into the nutritional info.)
1/4 cup chocolate chips (milk, semisweet, or dark)
1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
Optional: unsweetened coconut flakes or peanuts (optional ingredients are not figured into the nutritional info.)
Directions
Set out a large plate or bowl with a piece of parchment or wax paper on it.
Cut up the bananas into good-sized chunks. Each banana should give you around 5 to 6 pieces.
Heat the peanut butter and chocolate chips in the microwave on high for about a minute. Then stir until smooth.
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).
Optional: Then sprinkle unsweetened coconut flakes, or chopped peanuts on top. Sometimes for something special I do peanuts and a halved maraschino cherry to make it like a ""split.""
Transfer to the freezer for about an hour until hardened.
You can enjoy them like this (but they really aren't frozen yet -- and when they're frozen, the banana tastes like vanilla ice cream). I suggest then covering with some plastic wrap (or you can do all of this in some kind of Rubbermaid container) and let freeze overnight.
Serving Size: 1 serving = 1 bite
