Chocolate-Peanut Butter Banana Dessert
These are an incredibly delicious treat at any time of day--but especially as a late-night snack. Be careful though, they're quite addictive! This recipe comes from Gale Gand on the Food Network.
Ingredients:
4 whole bananas
4 T. peanut butter
4 oz. chocolate chips
Vanilla ice cream
Tin foil
Step-by-step:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. Lay the bananas so the ends are pointing up and cut a slit down the inside top, 3/4 of the way through the banana (do not cut through other side of peel). Open the bananas up, so you can see the pockets you've created.
3. Spread 1 T. peanut butter in each of the banana pockets.
4. Insert 1 T. chocolate chips in each of the banana pockets.
5. Wrap each banana loosely in aluminum foil.
6. Bake bananas on a baking sheet for about 10 minutes.
7. Unwrap bananas and place each banana (with peel) in a separate dish. Top with vanilla ice cream and serve immediately.
