Notes
- If desired, add a sprinkle of salt (the coarse type, if you have it) to the tops of each one to amplify the flavor experience.
- I like using big chocolate chunks instead of chips so the chocolate really stands out, but chocolate chips certainly work, as well.
- Try to use a banana that's on the very ripe side, if possible.
- When buying peanut butter, look for a type that only has peanuts (or just peanuts and salt) listed on the ingredient label.
