How to Make the Recipe
Let’s dive into the step-by-step process:

- In a silicon mold, add in about 1-2 teaspoons of the melted chocolate, or until the bottom is covered.
- Then, add in thin slices of banana followed by a dollop of peanut butter.
- Sprinkle some peanuts on top of that, gently press them into the peanut butter, and then finish it off with more melted chocolate.
- Place in the freezer until firm. About 1-2 hours.
- Remove from the silicon liners and enjoy!
