# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Three ingredients standing between you and something that tastes far more indulgent than ten minutes of effort should allow.
  • The contrast of cold banana, sticky peanut butter, and snappy chocolate shell is genuinely addictive.
02 -
  • Melted chocolate seizes if even a drop of water gets into the bowl so dry your banana slices thoroughly before topping them.
  • Freezing the banana slices for an hour before assembling turns this into something that rivals any ice cream bar you have ever bought.
03 -
  • Microwave chocolate in twenty second bursts stirring between each one because burnt chocolate smells terrible and there is no rescuing it.
  • The parchment paper is not optional because chocolate on a bare plate means you will be scraping for twenty minutes later.
