Ingredients
  

4 ripe bananas

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

2 tablespoons honey (optional, for extra sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Crushed nuts (e.g., walnuts or almonds) for topping

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Prepare Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise. If desired, you can also slice them into smaller pieces for easier serving later.

    Mix Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth and creamy.

      Assemble Cups: On a serving plate or individual dessert cups, begin by placing a banana half, cut side up. Spoon a generous amount of the peanut butter-yogurt mixture over the banana.

        Add Caramel: Drizzle the caramel sauce over the peanut butter-yogurt layer, allowing it to cascade over the sides.

          Add Toppings: Sprinkle crushed nuts on top for added crunch. If you like chocolate, melt dark chocolate chips in the microwave and drizzle it over your cups for a decadent finish.

            Chill: Cover your assembled banana cups with plastic wrap or a lid and place them in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to chill, firm up, and allow the flavors to meld.

              Serve: Once chilled, serve these Cold Creamy Caramel Banana Cups straight from the fridge. Garnish with an extra drizzle of caramel or a sprinkle of nuts if desired.
