These chocolate covered peanut butter banana crisps are a sweet and crunchy snack that are healthy to boot. Take freeze dried bananas to the next level!
Ingredients
30 Freeze dried Banana Slices
¼ Cup Creamy Peanut Butter
1 Cup Dark or Semisweet Chocolate Chips
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with waxed paper or a silpat mat.
Spread about ½ tsp. worth of peanut butter onto one side of each freeze dried banana slice. Place the slices, peanut butter side down, onto the lined baking sheet and place in the freezer for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, melt chocolate chips over a double boiler or in the microwave. If using the microwave, use a microwave-safe bowl and heat the chocolate chips for one minute. Stir, and continue to heat in 20 second intervals, stirring between, until melted.
Peanut butter thaws very quickly, so the best way to do this next step is to line another baking sheet or a plate with waxed paper or use a 2nd silpat mat and set aside. One at a time, remove a banana chip from the freezer, dip it in the melted chocolate with a fork to coat, and set it on the mat. Allow chocolate to harden at room temperature. Keep at room temperature or in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to a week.
*Keeping the peanut butter frozen until immediately before placing it in the melted chocolate will prevent the peanut butter from melting and mixing with the chocolate when dipped.
