Yields:: 15 bites

ingredients

4 ounces milk chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon peanut butter
1 cup peanuts, finely chopped
2 large bananas, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

directions

Melt chocolate in the top of a double boiler or in the microwave, then stir in peanut butter.
Place peanuts in a wide, shallow dish. Roll 3 to 4 pieces of banana in the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture, and stir to coat.
Remove bananas using a fork and place in the dish containing peanuts. Roll chocolate-covered bananas in peanuts and coat as best as you can. Once well coated, place bananas on baking sheet lined with waxed paper.
Repeat with remaining bananas, re-melting the chocolate mixture if needed. Once complete, place in freezer.
Once frozen, store in a freezer bag or airtight container. Thaw for 8 to 10 minutes before eating, to ensure banana bites are frozen, but not rock hard.
