Frozen Peanut Butter and Banana Treats

Looking for a fun treat to help cool off this hot summer?  From the picture you can see this is nothing fancy, but they are really good.  All the kids
were able to help out and had a great time
doing it.  We made this in the afternoon and
had them for our after dinner treat.  I had Maddie
slice the bananas, Tyler and Jeremy added the smudge of peanut butter and I dipped them in the melted chocolate chips.  Super easy and a lot of fun to do with the kids!  These lasted over a week in
the freeze so it was nice to have a quick treat whenever we felt like it!



Frozen Peanut Butter and Banana Treats

Ingredients:

1/2 cup peanut butter
3 ripe bananas, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices2 cups chocolate chips (we like the milk chocolate, but use your favorite)
3 Tbsp heavy whipping cream


Mix chocolate and cream in a small glass bowl.  Microwave until melted and smooth, stirring about every 30 seconds.
Line baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Arrange banana slices on paper.  Drop about 1 tsp peanut butter over the top of the banana.  Using a folk and knife, dip 1 banana slice in chocolate, coating completely. Shake off excess chocolate, transfer to foil-lined sheet. Repeat with remaining bananas, peanut butter and chocolate.  An added twist would be to coat the chocolate covered bananas with different toppings, such as coconut, chopped nuts or whatever you feel inspired to use.  I thought a little drizzle of caramel would have been divine!  Just have fun with it! Freeze until firm, about 3 hours, then serve.

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Chocolate Covered Cream Balls

Several years ago, I sampled a Milk Chocolate Coconut at See's Candies.  It was love at first bite.  Ever since then I have made a mandatory stop every time I went into the mall to get one of these delicious chocolates.  I love them so much !  However, there are two things I didn't like about them.  1) I had to go to the mall to get them, and 2) they are SO expensive.  I think the last time I was there I paid about 75 cents for 1 chocolate.

Healthier Chocolate Banana Muffins

 I know, I know.  We already have like 5 banana muffins posted on this blog.  I have put off posting this recipe because of that fact, but here's the thing.  While those muffins are all delicious and great in their own way, when I have ripe bananas you know I'm either making these muffins or banana bread.  More often, these muffins because they are perfect for a grab and go snack or breakfast.  My family LOVES these muffins! They have such a deep chocolate flavor and are so moist.  What my family doesn't think about, but I love, are that these muffins are healthier than your average muffin.  They are made with whole wheat flour, coconut oil, greek yogurt for extra protein, and have less sugar that most other muffins.  These are best warm (they can be reheated in the microwave for 10 seconds) and those bites with melted chocolate chips are the absolute best!
