Banana lovers rejoice! August 27 is National Banana Lover’s Day.

Why have a plain old banana, when you can celebrate with the following banana treats?

 

 

Dark Chocolate-Covered Banana Chips

Any banana lover would go, well, bananas over sweet and crunchy banana chips dipped in luxurious chocolate.

If celebrating National Banana Lover’s Day sounds a-PEEL-ing to you, we hope this post has offered some fun inspiration to incorporate a new flavor profile. And if you don’t want to “reinvent the wheel,” as they say, look at your existing products. If you have an existing confection that already combines peanut butter and chocolate, consider ways you can add banana for a fresh, new twist.
