Chocolate Covered Banana Pieces

Ingredients

* 4 medium ripe but firm bananas
* 3 tablespoons finely chopped lightly salted peanuts
* 6 ounces good quality sugarless dark chocolate chopped

Directions

Peel, then cut each banana into 2" pieces. Place on a tray, cover with plastic wrap and place in the freezer until frozen, about 3 hours.

Place the peanuts in a shallow dish or on a plate. Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over slightly simmering water, over the lowest possible heat, stirring frequently. Make sure the water is not touching the bottom of the top pan. Pour the melted chocolate into a bowl or tall glass if making bars. Dip each frozen banana piece into the chocolate, turning it to coat, and immediately roll in the peanuts. Place on a tray covered in waxed paper. Serve immediately or wrap individually in plastic wrap or waxed paper and freeze for up to 2 weeks.

Another way to fix these would be to cut the bananas in half (width wise). Then insert a popsicle stick in the end of each piece. Then follow the above instructions.

Either way what a great low cal treat on a hot summer day or anytime!
