Chunky Monkey


Sometimes when hosting appetizers night, you don't have to think outside the box. It can be as simple as picking up three ingredients available at home, combine it and serve it in small portions. A few days before the cooking session, my Taiwanese friend and I usually discuss the number of guests that are coming and dishes we will be making. So, for appetizer night, he told he wanted to make Chunky Monkey, which is, at first guest, an ice cream flavor available at Ben & Jerry. In fact, it is peanut butter and banana, rolled in a tortilla. This recipe is adapted from Chef at Home by Michael Smith.

  1. Haha, I used to have this for lunch on days when I was really in a hurry!

    Try it with Nutella or chocolate spread for a dessert version!

  6. Victor, Thank you for stopping by my blog!! I am going for the Nutella version. On many occasions I have been called un-American because I don't care for peanut butter. These look quick and easy to put together!! ~LeslieMichele
