Dark Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Cups

Today I wanted to try making peanut butter cups.  I wanted to keep them clean by using whole foods and decided to throw a banana in with the peanut butter.  These turned out so decadent!  I only had one and I was so satisfied.  Note though that because there are no preservatives, you have to keep these frozen until ready to eat, otherwise the chocolate will start to melt and get messy.  This recipe was very simple and only 5 easy ingredients!

Yields 12 
Ingredients

1 bag (60% cacao or higher) semisweet or dark chocolate chips (separated)
1/2 cup almond milk (separate)
2 ripe bananas
1/2 tsp vanilla extract 
2/3 cup peanut butter

Directions

using a double boiler, melt 1/2 the package of chocolate with 1/4 cup of almond milk to a smooth consistency.  Divide among 12 cupcake liners and freeze for 10-15 minutes.
In a small bowl mash the 2 bananas with the peanut butter and vanilla.  Top each chocolate cup with mixture and freeze for 10-15 minutes.
Melt the rest of the chocolate and almond milk and complete the cups.  Freeze.  Eat and enjoy!
