Trail Mix Banana Bites

More About This Recipe

• Bananas with granola, PB and white chocolate are enough to make you want to hike! Do you ever go hiking just for that really, really good trail mix? I have. My favorite contains banana chips, peanut butter, granola, and white chocolate. My trail mix triumvirate was on my mind when I saw these cute banana snacks, and subsequently customized in to my own little creation -- Trail Mix Banana Bites. And they’re dual-purpose -- a perfect snack for the kiddos, as well as a fun and easy, edible project for same! You’ll need banana sections – if you can find bananas that aren’t very curvy, that’s ideal. I ran the tops of my bananas over a cut lemon, to prevent browning, as they had to sit pretty for the photos. I used Nature Valley™ Granola bars, crumbled, for the granola portion of the snacks. I didn’t even remove the granola bars from the package, just gently crushed with a rolling pin and poured into a small container for dipping. Gently is the operative word here, though. Unnecessary roughness could lead to a granola bomb …. The peanut butter is basically ready to go – put it a bag with a pastry tip if you’re feeling fancy. But you could also use a small spoon. Serve and enjoy!
