Healthy Chocolate Treats

So...it's been a while! I thought my first post after my hiatus should be something a little fun and definitely delicious. I love mixing peanut butter and banana for a little snack and I thought I would go one step further and make some chocolate covered peanut butter and banana sandwiches. I also recently tried some rice cakes with a chocolate topping and decided to try making my own! These two treats are really quick to make, they don't require a lot of ingredients and can be changed up according to your preferences! They are also 100% vegan friendly.

Ingredients
- Two bananas
- Smooth peanut butter
- Organic rice cakes 
- 150g Organic dairy free dark chocolate

Extras
- Chopping board
- Knife
- Sauce pan
- Pyrex bowl
- Teaspoon
- Large plate


Now, here's what to do...


  • Cut your bananas into slices and match them up so they are around equal sizes.
  • Use a teaspoon to spread a small dollop of peanut butter onto one slice of banana and place another slice on top to make a sandwich.
  • Continue doing this until you have used all your banana slices. Spread them out onto a plate and set aside.
  • Also spread your rice cakes out onto a large plate and set aside.
  • Bring a pan of water to the boil and place the pyrex bowl on top of the pan.
  • Break the chocolate up into small chunks and put them into the bowl.
  • Making sure to check regularly, let the chocolate melt entirely and take off the pan to cool for a couple of minutes.
  • Once the chocolate has cooled, spread a thin layer over each of the rice cakes and put them in the fridge once all the rice cakes are covered.
  • With the remaining chocolate, dunk the little banana sandwiches in until they are completely covered.
  • Repeat this until you have used all your banana and then put them in the freezer.
  • Once the chocolate has set on both the rice cakes and the banana they are ready to eat!

The great thing about these treats is that they are really versatile and the banana bites can be kept in the freezer for weeks! If you don't like dark chocolate or you aren't a vegan you can definitely make these with milk chocolate and try adding in extra ingredients!

Enjoy!
