I was just checking the weather and this weekend is supposed to be SOOOOO NICE in southern New Hampshire. So nice out that you could probably GRILL outside and it be completely acceptable! I’ve always been fairly hesitant about grilled desserts, but I think that mostly stems from my hatred of Bobby Flay (he’s so harsh and all he does is grill fruit and makes tons of money for it). I was perusing some easy summer grilled desserts and (something similar to) this popped up amongst his usual grilled peaches, pineapples, etc. Chocolate, peanut butter and bananas? Yes, PLEASE!

2 slices of whole wheat bread
1 ripe banana
1 tbs. powdered sugar
1/4 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tbs. peanut butter
Butter for spreading

Mash up the banana with powdered sugar until chunky but not a paste. In a small bowl, melt chocolate chips with peanut butter in the microwave. Heat up your grill (I used a panini press instead), then butter both slices of bread on one side. Butter side down, place one slice on grill and spread banana on top. Take remaining slice, spread with chocolate mixture on non-buttered side, and place face down on top of the banana slice. Grill until the first side has nice char marks, then flip. Cook for a few more minutes, then remove from grill and let cool. Cut into wedges and serve!

Note for making the best banana sandwiches: To tell you the truth, these kind of disappointed me. They’re so ooey-gooey and rich that they seriously made me sick! I KNEW BOBBY FLAY WAS THE WORST! These could be highly improved if there wasn’t sugar in the bananas, and you used less of everything overall. GREAT NOW I WANNA BARF! THANKS BOBBY!
