Banana Candy Bites (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Coating & Garnish

01 - 20 banana chips for decorating
02 - 8 ounces of white chocolate

→ Truffle Filling

03 - 2 bananas, extra ripe and mashed
04 - 8 ounces of softened cream cheese
05 - 11 ounces of crushed vanilla wafers

# Instructions:

01 - Toss the vanilla wafers into a food processor and blitz until they’re smooth crumbs.
02 - Add the mashed bananas and softened cream cheese to the crumb mixture in your processor.
03 - Blend everything until the mix gets thick and fully combined.
04 - Scoop out small portions of the dough and roll them into round, bite-sized balls about 1.5 inches wide.
05 - Pop the rolled balls into the freezer and let them firm up for 15 minutes before coating.
06 - Melt the white chocolate on the stove using a double boiler or a heat-safe bowl over simmering water. Stir until smooth.
07 - Take the chilled balls, dip each one into the melted chocolate, then place them on parchment paper to set.
08 - Quickly stick a banana chip on top of each truffle while the chocolate is still melty.
09 - Put the coated truffles back in the fridge until the chocolate is completely solid.
10 - Serve them chilled. Keep any extras in the fridge to stay fresh.

# Notes:

01 - These bite-sized treats take the classic flavors of banana pudding and pack them into an easy-to-enjoy truffle.
02 - Since these include cream cheese and bananas, you’ve got to keep them refrigerated.
03 - Go for bananas with brown speckles. They’ll give you the sweetest and richest flavor!
