Banana Chocolate Bon Bons [Tracy's Paleo Recipe]

Ingredients:


- 3 ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (I prefer organic as peanuts are genetically modified)
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 10 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips (or carob chips) (dairy free option try Almond Dream Brand)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped organic honey roasted peanuts (optional)
- small Popsicle sticks


Directions:

1. Peel bananas and slice into medium-thick round slices.

2. Put peanut butter into Ziploc bag. cut a small corner or one side.

3. Squeeze out about 1 tsp onto half of the banana slices.

4. Top with the other slices to make banana sandwich.

5. Using Popsicle sticks hold the banana while you insert stick in the middle through both bananas so the peanut butter doesn't ooze out.

6. Place little sandwiches on parchment paper.

7. Place in freezer for 30 minutes.

8. Place 2 inches of water in a saucepan and bring to simmer. Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in medium heat resistant bowl. Place the bowl over the the simmered water and stir frequently while it melts.

9. Transfer the melted chocolate into a medium drinking glass.

10. Dip the sandwiches completely into the chocolate.

11. After dipping return to freezer for 2 hours.

(Bananas will last for 1-2 weeks in freezer)
