Peanut butter, chocolate, bananas…a marriage made in heaven.
I don’t know what it is… but all those components together create something so beautiful, delicious, perfect… so right. Peanuts are chocolate’s best friend.
Somehow they taste better together than chocolate does with any other nut or seed butter. I guess they are soul mates?
If you are craving a mid-afternoon snack or late-night treat, try these homemade banana, chocolate, peanut butter cups. But heed this warning – this super easy, no-bake dessert is dangerously delicious and addictive!
I like them frozen but you can certainly enjoy them from the fridge as well. They are one of my very favorite treats to grab. They are super easy to make and take about 5 minutes of prep time and only have 4 ingredients.
I made some PB cups a few days ago and as always they were amazing (duh) but I had an epiphany. “Why don’t I add banana to this!?” So I did.
So, now we have banana PB chocolate cups and there is nothing not to love about them. They are pretty darn amazing. Bite size lends a hand to the healthy title – which means yes you can have dessert tonight!
Indulgent homemade FROZEN treats! Yassss! Sign me up!
They are best served cold straight from the freezer. The no baking part also means they are a lot faster to make and less fuss. Did I mention they taste freaking amazing and are way healthier than your average treat as they are made with wholesome REAL food ingredients.
The whole family LOVED these little cups; they were gone in under 24 hours. They give off serious Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups vibes but way more healthy and delicious. With only 4 ingredients that you most likely have in your pantry already – these NEED to be made!.
But I have to say….this is another one of those “bet you can’t eat just one” recipes. But you may have more willpower than me! 😊
Decadent yet healthy, these frozen chocolate banana cups will impress guests and make a delicious dessert!
