Chocolate REESE’S Banana Bread

If you’ve never tried a chocolaty banana bread before, you’ve been missing out. Super moist, and full of sweet flavor. Add in some crumpled REESE’S and it’s a definite winner!

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups All-purpose Flour
1/2 cup Cocoa Powder
1-2 cups REESE’S Snack Size, crumbled into pieces
3/4 tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/2 cup Sugar
1/2 stick Butter, softened
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
2 Eggs
1 1/2 cups Banana, mashed (about 2 medium)
1/3 cup Vanilla Yogurt

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 Degrees F. Spray or line a bread pan, set aside.
In a large bowl, mix the sugar, butter, vanilla, eggs, banana and yogurt until creamy. Stir in the baking soda and salt, then slowly add in the flour and cocoa powder. Last, stir in the REESE’S crumbles.
Pour into the prepared bread pan and bake for about 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

For the Glaze Topping: In a saucepan, heat 1/4 cup Half & Half and 2 tbsp. Brown Sugar over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Add 1 tsp. Butter and 1/2 tsp. Vanilla Extract, until melted. Toss in 6 tbsp. Chocolate chips, allowing to just sit for 2-3 minutes. Whisk until smooth, then cool. When ready, pour over your bread and add some more REESE’S over top!

REESE’S Brownie Truffles

I could snack on these little bites all day long! Great for a quick, easy finger treat.

Ingredients

Brownies (fully baked and done)
REESE’S Minis, unwrapped
Melting Chocolate for coating

Directions

Place a piece of wax paper on a baking sheet. Crumble the brownies into a bowl. Take a chunk and form it into a ball around a REESE’S Mini, then set on the wax paper. Place in the fridge about 1 hour.
Melt your chocolate coating, then dip each truffle so it’s fully covered. Allow the coating to harden, then serve!
