Decadent Chocolate-Covered Banana Strawberry Bites

Ingredients

- 8 oz dark chocolate, chopped
- 8 strawberries, hulled
- 2 medium bananas, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 4 tbsp peanut butter

Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Hull the strawberries by removing their green tops.
- Peel the bananas and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.

2. Melt the Chocolate:
- Place the chopped dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Remove, stir, and then continue to heat in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval. This should take about 2 minutes in total, until smooth and fully melted.

3. Assemble the Bites:
- Take a banana slice, spread a thin layer of peanut butter on top, and place a whole strawberry on the peanut butter. Use another banana slice to sandwich the strawberry.

4. Dip in Chocolate:
- Using a fork or a skewer, dip each banana-strawberry sandwich into the melted chocolate. Ensure it's fully covered.
- Allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.

5. Set the Chocolate:
- Place the chocolate-covered bites on a tray lined with parchment paper.
- Once all bites are coated, transfer the tray to the refrigerator.
- Chill for approximately 20 minutes until the chocolate is set.
