I Can't Believe It's Not Reese's!

SATURDAY - SHMATURDAY....


It's Saturday night, I'm flipping through channels on the TV - there's nothing on that interests me. 

My sister is sitting next to me on the couch reading another book just to pass the time. 

*GRUMBLE GRUMBLE MERRRRR*


I hear my stomach growl in the echo of the living room...

"Do you want to listen to 80's music and make a dessert from Pinterest?" I ask her in desperation. 


"I'm pregnant... So, YES." 

(Duhh I should've known she'd say "yes.")


I'm craving dark chocolate and bananas, while she wants anything with peanut butter. As a compromiser, I typed in these flavor combinations into the search engine and found a recipe called, "3 Ingredient Banana Cups." 

THEY'RE LIKE REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUPS WITHOUT THE PEANUT BUTTER! 


*GASP* 


... But to make my sister happy, we throw in the peanut butter too - It still works! 

We'll call them....

Instructions


1. Using a double boiler method, melt the chocolate chips with the almond milk.

2. When the chocolate chips are melted down, pour a small amount into the bottom of the muffin cups. (I used the silicone liners - worked great!)

3. Stick the muffin pan in the freezer for 5-10 minutes.

4. While the chocolate is in the freezer, smash the banana into a bowl and get your peanut butter ready. 

5. Grab your muffin pan out of the freezer and add peanut butter then the smashed banana on top of the chocolate cup. 

6. After this is completed, add the remaining  amount of melted chocolate on top.

7. Stick the muffin pan back into the freezer for an hour. 

8. ENGORGE YOUR MOUTH WITH THIS CHOCOLATELY TREAT!



** Would also be a great ice cream topping! **
