4 bananas
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup Nestle's semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped roasted peanuts
Peel the bananas and break each banana into two even pieces. Insert a bamboo skewer into each piece for the handle. Wrap each banana half in aluminum foil and place in the freezer overnight until frozen solid. The next day, place the cream in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat, then remove from heat. Place the chocolate chips in a bowl and pour the hot cream over the chips--let them sit 2 minutes, and then stir with a spoon until smooth and the chocolate is completely melted (about 2 minutes). Chop peanuts and place in a small bowl--set aside. Remove the bananas from the freezer and unwrap. Cover a cookie sheet with wax paper. Holding the skewer on the banana and dip in the melted chocolate/cream until coated. Sprinkle the coated banana with chopped peanuts. Set the banana on the wax paper--repeat with all bananas. Serve immediately or return the bananas to the freezer until ready to serve.
