This truffle recipe was created from ripe bananas and my imagination, and the outcome blew my family and friends away! I don’t particularly like bananas, but I could eat these truffles all day long. —Michele Lassuy, Orlando, Florida


Test Kitchen tips
  • To coat the truffles, we used 2 forks to dip and turn them in the chocolate coating.
  • To crush the banana chips, place them in a zip-top plastic bag and pound them with a meat mallet or rolling pin until broken.
