Banana Peanut Butter Bites from Sugar Bee Crafts

So, with that in mind, we were watching PBS Kids during spring break and before each show they have a “fun craft idea” and it was bananas on a stick.  And the kids wanted to make it – because they always want to make whatever is shown – and I normally don’t go for it, but I thought why not.  So we made them, my kids were all LOVING it.  And I thought – time to step it up a notch.  If it’s bananas on a stick you want, then game on. See the Banana Peanut Butter Bites recipe here.
