Banana bonbon

This banana bonbon had been tempting me for quite a while. and I finally prepared it last week. I liked this recipe straight away because it is a healthy dessert. It contains no added sugars and is a set of healthy ingredients.

To tell the truth, there are only three ingredients: banana, peanut butter, and chocolate. If you use 70% dark chocolate and peanut butter which contains only peanuts you will have a superfood bonbon, that is, those foods that have many healthy properties. Bananas are often used as a useful resource to make sweets less caloric.

I used a little peanut butter – next time I will be more generous with the filling. The good is when chocolate meets the savory taste of peanuts.

I find this banana bonbon gives its best cold from the fridge.

Ingredients:

• 2 bananas
• peanut butter to taste
• 150 g of dark chocolate (not all will be used)

Preparation:

1. Peel the bananas and cut them into slices not too thin. Place them in a container and put them in the freezer until they are frozen.
2. Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie.
3. Take the frozen banana and put about a teaspoon of peanut butter between one slice and the other, combining them two by two. Insert a toothpick to keep them together and make it easier for you to cover them with chocolate.
4. Place parchment paper on a cutting board or plate. It will serve to support your freshly covered chocolate bonbons.
5. Use a small saucepan so that the chocolate remains collected and it is easier to wrap each candy.
6. Using a fork or toothpick that you inserted into the bonbon holding the two sides together, dip each bonbon into the chocolate, turning them until they are covered on all sides.
7. Drain them and then place them on parchment paper.
8. Keep in the fridge.
9. Buon appetito!
