Elvis Popsicles (Peanut Butter, Banana, & Chocolate Popsicles)

Elvis’s favorite combo, peanut butter and banana, come together in popsicle form along with a sinful dip of chocolate in these Elvis Popsicles!

Since I was little, I’ve loved the peanut butter and chocolate combo. It’s umami and richness and sweet and salty all at the same time.

Back in the day, my sister and I invented these things called Zebra Droppings. It was literally a spoonful of peanut butter drizzled in melted chocolate and frozen (zebra because of the striped drizzle, duh). Clearly we were bakers (read: sugar lovers) from the start. 

So any time I can marry peanut butter and chocolate, I am one happy girl.

Like me with pb & choc, Elvis was a huge fan of pb & banana. So I decided to give these babies a name fit for a king, if you will.

But unlike Elvis’s signature butter-slathered peanut butter and banana sandwich on white, these ice pops are made with non-fat greek yogurt. So when you’re noshing on these you’ll be getting some good protein and way fewer calories than a traditional Elvis-inspired eat.

Meanwhile, how PRETTY are they?! I just love them.

Oh! I almost forgot! I was written up on Boston.com on life as a full-time food blogger. If you want to read a little about blogging full-time and how I do it, you can read the article here!

And as a follow-up to that, a huge thank you to my readers. It’s because of you that I am able to pursue what I love. Your support and encouragement has kept me motivated to succeed, and I thank you for it. I love you all!

2. Pour into the popsicle mold, fit with sticks, and freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
