Puffy Banana Peanut Butter Cup Sweet Grilled Sandwich

Good morning everyone! Want one of these for breakfast?!

After our family night Monday, I made the boys these fun sweet sammy’s that I had been cooking up in my mind for a week or so. They tasted just as good as I hoped. I mean, what’s not to like with bananas, peanut butter, chocolate and marshmallows? Kind of hard to mess that combo up!

I found that it's best to wait about 10 minutes before slicing into the sandwich, so the mashmallows don’t ooze out everywhere. Totally worth the wait to give them a little time to firm back up a bit. The warm peanut butter, bananas, melted chocolate and puffed marshmallows seriously melt in your mouth inside the sweet crisp bread!

We've got lots going on today, so gotta run, hope everyone has a great rest of the week! Enjoy this crazy puffy sammy! I’ll try to post the fun 60 second lunch soon!

Puffy Banana Peanut Butter Cup Sweet Grilled Sandwich

2 slices whole grain bread
¼ Cup creamy peanut butter
½ banana, cut into thin slices
24-30 mini marshmallows
1 Reeses Peanut Butter Cup, normal size

2 Tablespoons soft butter
Powdered sugar to sprinkle on top

1. Spread peanut butter onto both sides of bread. Lay banana slices over one piece of bread and marshmallows over the other piece, pressing down gently. Break apart the Peanut Butter cup and evenly place in between marshmallows. Carefully lay the bread with banana over the marshmallow side and press gently. Spread butter onto both sides of bread and cook both sides in a medium skillet over medium low heat until golden brown and marshmallows are warm and slightly melted.

2. Let cool for 5-7 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle both sides with powdered sugar and serve warm.

I would be in heaven if I was a kid! And actually, my husband loves to make peanut butter marshmallow grilled sandwiches, so I'm sure throwing in banana and chocolate make it even better!
