This was a spur of the moment creation while packing for a hiking trip. We were attempting a 14-er (peak higher than 14,000 feet) and it would be a 5-7 hour climb round trip. When I do long hikes I like more than just a few granola bars and trail mix. So I made a peanut butter sandwich, then noticed a banana on the counter about to go bad. Sliced that guy up and added it on top of the Jif. Then I remembered I had bought Nutella a few weeks before and it was in the refrigerator still, so that was the finishing touch on this butter, peanutty, fruity delight.
It was gooey, filling and delicious. Even after being smashed in a backpack with 2 water bottles for 3 hours. Might I suggest honey if you don't have Nutella, or a semi-melted chocolate bar. Maybe try some marshmallow fluff instead of the peanut butter if you're allergic. I bet peaches or pears would work well too, sliced thinly. I might need to go try all these combos now...Labels: banana, cheap, chocolate, easy, Nutella, peanut butter, sandwich
