Ingredients
⅛ cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 Large bananas, peeled and cut into quarters
8 Large fresh strawberries
¼ cup Unsalted peanuts, chopped
Directions
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
Place the chocolate chips into a small microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave the chocolate on high power for 10 seconds, then stir well.
Continue microwaving in 10-second intervals, stirring after each round, until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted (approximately 20–30 seconds total).
Line a small serving tray with waxed paper.
Arrange the banana pieces and strawberries on the waxed paper.
Using a spoon, carefully drizzle the melted chocolate over the fruit in thin streams.
Sprinkle the chopped peanuts evenly over the chocolate-coated fruit.
Cover the tray and refrigerate for 10 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened and set.
Serve the chilled fruit immediately.
Comments
Every ingredient is stocked at any Charlotte chain year-round, and all are cheap—chocolate chips and peanuts from any pantry shelf, bananas under a dollar, strawberries usually two to three dollars a pint. The 15-minute claim is honest for assembly; this is raw fruit with toppings, not cooking. It's a no-fuss dessert or snack that works for any age, though it's a same-night dish since bananas brown and strawberries weep once cut. Strong value for casual entertaining or a quick family treat.
