Chocolate Covered Banana Bread Cake Pops

Banana bread cake pops are an easy and fun dessert, especially when they are coated in chocolate! I originally made these thinking how perfect they would be for a kids' birthday party. I wasn't wrong, but I wasn't prepared for how much I would enjoy them as well. Needless to say, I had to make another batch as some of these disappeared before the party.

Ingredients
  

  • ⅔ cup peanut butter
  • ⅔ cup brown sugar

  • 4 tbsp wheat germ

Cake Balls

  • 5 cups chocolate chips (melted)
  • 16 ounce container frosting (vanilla or cream cheese)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉. Spray a 9x13 cake pan with cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat two-thirds of a cup of peanut butter, two-thirds of a cup of brown sugar, and five tablespoons of softened butter until smooth and fluffy.
  • Add two large eggs and one teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  • Stir in one and one-half cups of mashed bananas.

  • Once the bread has cooled, crumble it into a large bowl. Stir in the frosting until the cake is moist and sticks together.
  • Scoop the cake into cake pop-sized balls. Depending on the size of your desired cake pops, you should be able to make approximately two dozen. (Use your hands to roll into balls, or use a scoop).
  • Place balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for thirty minutes.

  • Using a skewer, dip each ball into the chocolate.
  • Place on waxed paper or parchment paper to dry completely.
