Chocolate and Peanut Butter Banana Treats

Peanut butter and chocolate have both been popular since the day of the Aztec. A legume ground into a paste made into a delicious spread. Chocolate has it's own appeal as well. The aztecs would use the peanut to make tooth ache spread. Chocolate was offered to the gods and also drank by royalty.


Who knows how peanut butter and chocolate first got together, but now that they are together the delicious combo can be found in many different forms. Peanut butter and chocolate cupcakes are amazing, peanut butter cookies drizzled with chocolate are delicious as well. In fact, there has to my knowledge never been a regret that chocolate and peanut butter were put together. Today, chocolate and peanut butter is a day for you to try that recipe where the duo of chocolate and peanut butter comes together.

This chocolate and peanut butter recipe also combines bananas. Bananas are the cheapest fruit in the U.S. The recipe is a great frugal treat or snack that is also healthy but indulgent.
