Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 6 slices thick-cut bacon
- 4 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup (crushed) salted pretzels
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 12 toothpicks
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Lay the bacon slices flat on the parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes until crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool on a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 3
While the bacon cooks, peel the bananas and cut them into 1-inch slices (approximately 12 slices total).
Step 4
Once the bacon is cooled, slice each piece into thirds to create 18 smaller strips of bacon.
Step 5
Spread a small dollop of peanut butter on each banana slice, then wrap a strip of bacon around each piece. Secure it in place with a toothpick.
Step 6
Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl by microwaving in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
Step 7
Dip the bottom of each bacon-wrapped banana bite into the melted chocolate and immediately press it into the crushed pretzels to coat.
Step 8
Place the finished bites on a clean piece of parchment paper and drizzle with maple syrup for a touch of sweetness.
Step 9
Let the assembled bites sit for 5 minutes to allow the chocolate to set slightly. Serve immediately and enjoy the unique combination of salty, sweet, and savory flavors!
