1 to 2 tbs. Dark Chocolate Dreams peanut butter

1) Slice the banana lengthwise and spread the peanut butter on the cut side of one of the halves.

2) Lay the other banana slice on top of the first, flat side down, as if making a sandwich.

3) Cut the re-formed banana into 1 or 2 inch pieces and wrap each individually in plastic wrap.
