Chocolate cravings?
Need a quick and easy weekend fix but just eating plain chocolate won’t cut it ….and you want to amp it up a tad?
Just can’t beat that chocolate and peanut butter combination?
Are you, like me, not willing to invest any more time or ingredients into your chocolatey treat than is absolutely necessary and prefer to use things that are in the fridge or cupboard most of the time?
Am I asking too many questions??? Quite possibly…
Nonetheless….This recipe just may be for you.
Chocolate and Peanut Butter Toast
Ingredients List: To serve two (or one very hungry) individual(s)
- 2 pieces of toast (I usually keep sliced bread in the freezer for easy access. You can use whatever kind you like, but in this case I used multigrain because that’s what I had. White bread, wholemeal, etc. would be more than suitable)
- 1-2 tablespoons peanut butter (I used smooth but you could use crunchy)
- 1 large ripe banana, sliced into discs
Chocolate Sauce
- About 2-3 rows of milk chocolate from a family sized bar
- About 1-2 tablespoons of thickened cream (depending on how thick/runny you want your chocolate sauce to be)
This recipe makes weekend indulgence far too quick and easy to put together!
Simply toast your bread and pop on a pretty plate. Spread with peanut butter and top with banana slices.
To make chocolate sauce, simply microwave chocolate and cream together in 10 second bursts until chocolate melts with cream. Stir together until smooth – add more cream and zap in the microwave again until smooth and the consistency you want. Drizzle warm chocolate sauce over toast and enjoy 🙂
This goes super well with a nice cuppa, or for some extra chocolatey indulgence, a cup of hot chocolate!
How was your long weekend? Mine was packed out with an engagement party, a wedding reception, hanging out with friends and a birthday. Gotta love that extra day off!
Have a fabulous week!

Girl, you got me hooked on this! I love choco. I love banana. and peanut butter…I’m sold! (Ugh ok, I’ve been staring at your lovely picture for too long. I think I better make one for breakfast tomorrow).
Heheh sounds like a plan Linda! 😉
That’s great. What a good snack. We often have banana sandwiches here with honey but you’ve taken this snack to a whole new level with the chocolate. Don’t chocolate and bananas go so well together! xx
Oh yum I love banana and honey as well! Chocolate and banana are an awesome combo…So many things go well with bananas! Thanks for dropping by Charlie!
Mmmmm Yummo!! Love the addition of the pretty plate. Always makes any scrummy indulgence so much more “refined”! 🙂
Hahaha I like to think so 😀 Thanks Allysia x
Oh my, that looks delicious!! 😀
Hehe thanks Tara! x
Yum!! I’m so going through a banana and peanut butter phase at the moment! 😀
Heheh meeee too. I especially love banana & peanut butter in smoothies… Addictive!
Peanut butter, chocolate and bananas are my favorite combination! Sometimes, I just eat sliced bananas with some peanut butter as a dessert. Adding chocolate to it is taking it to a whole new level.
i have to confess banana on toast is my fave, i have not taken it to this level though.
I do love banana on toast as well. Such a great simple combination!
This is definitely a sneaky treat! Looks scrumptious.
Hehe thanks for dropping by Lizzie!
I don’t think I’d hate getting up so much if this were waiting for me 😉
Yes this definitely cures the morning-itis for me 😀 Hehe thanks for dropping by! x

Thanks Kristi 😀 Thanks for dropping by! x
I’d settle for one of those mouth watering toasts right now please.. 😉
Heheh thanks Simone 😀
Oh yum! I like to indulge in the occasional peanut butter, banana and honey variation from time to time, but I think I might have to substitute the honey for chocolate now! 🙂
I love that combo as well but this certainly satisfies chocolate cravings 😀 Thanks for dropping by Erika!
Now that is the breakfast for winners, forget weetbix 😉

I like the way you think CCU! Thanks for dropping by! x
Oh yes please. I LOVE the look of this!
Hehe thank you Christina! x
Dear Christine,
I read recently that banana and chocolate go really well together. I don’t have a sweet tooth so I’m just a little nervous about the combo.
Oh they are! You have to try bananas dipped in chocolate as well. So good! Hope it meets your expectations 😉
I used to eat banana and peanut butter on toast all the time as a kid. Never had it with chocolate though, but my culinary imagination is saying to me already = this is a winning combo!! @frombecca x
Hehe thanks Becca! And thanks for stopping by 😀
This really is the best breakfast or morning snack 🙂 But because I’m not a fan of peanut butter I would substitute it with LOTS of nutella instead ~ i think nutella and banana are so amazing together!
Ahhh excellent idea Daisy! Can’t go wrong with Nutella, yummm!
