Founds these yummy treats on Instagram posted by Diane Morrisey.
I don’t like to buy snacks and desserts at the grocery store. If I do I’ll just graze mindlessly on them. If I want a snack or a dessert I have to want it bad enough to make something from scratch. Or almost from scratch, box mixes count. These little cuties are just perfect. They are made with things I usually have on hand (except for the pretzels).
Instead of using mini muffin liners, simply because I didn’t have any. I used my silicone mini muffin pan and I added a little chocolate in the bottom first. You could make so many different little cups of yumminess with whatever you happen to have.
Ingredients
1 bag Ghirardelli dark chocolate melting wafers
1 banana
2 tablespoons peanut butter
24 Snyders of Hanover sea salt pretzel rounds or 12 mini pretzels
Instructions
Put 1/4 of the bag of chocolate wafers in a small microwave safe cup, the size of a 2 cup measuring cup. And microwave the chocolate for 30 seconds. Then stir it vigorously. Give it a second, it will probably all melt while you’re stirring. If not, microwave it another 15-30 seconds. Stir again until it’s smooth and shiny.
Put a small teaspoon of chocolate in the bottom of 12 mini muffin cups. You will probably need to repeat the melting process again to fill all 12 cups.
Top with a slice of banana, a small amount of peanut butter, and 2 pretzel balls (or 1 mini pretzel).
Melt another 1/4 of the chocolate and start covering each cupful. You will probably need to melt 1 more 1/4 of chocolate to finish.
Place in the fridge to harden. That’s it!
