From the Kitchen - Outside the Nest

Nutty Nannabutter Bites

They're cool. They're creamy. They're crunchy.
THEY'RE DECADENT!
Kids and adults love them.

Let's start with the bananas. Slice them into nice slices.

Then dollup a bit of peanut butter between two slices,
jab a toothpick through them, put them in a container.
This is a bit messy, which is why I don't have a picture of me spreading the peanut butter between the slices. Pop the container in the freezer.

Ok, after they have been chillin' in the freezer for about 1-1/2 to 2 hours, remove and dip in melted chocolate.

I found this at my local grocer. It worked well. 
I did 2 medium bananas with it, and had a bit left over. Melting chocolate baking chips will work as well.

A quick plunge into chopped peanuts.

Then it's back into the freezer for another 2 hours, and then, commence to tasting.

I love being on the taste-testing panel of judges.
I give this recipe a. . . . . 10.
Home run! Score! 
As in, are they ever good.
May all your dippin' be happy dippin'.

Nutty Nannabutter Bites

2-3 medium bananas
Peanut butter
1 C milk, semi-sweet, or dark chocolate baking chips
1-2 Tsp butter or shortening
1/4 C chopped peanuts


Peel bananas, slice into 1/4 inch slices. Spread peanut butter between 2 slices, push a toothpick through both slices to keep them together. Place them in a covered container lined with waxed paper and freeze 1-1/2 to 2 hours. Melt baking chips. Add enough butter to thin to a dipping consistency. Dip bananas in chocolate and then dip bottoms in chopped nuts. Return to freezer, freeze additional 1-1/2 to 2 hours. Keep leftovers in freezer. If frozen longer than 2 hours, you may wish to let sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating.
