-1 (12 oz) bag semisweet chocolate chips
-3/4 cup peanut butter (I used crunchy)

Directions:
1. Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray and line with wax paper, leaving an overhang on both sides. Set aside.
2. Melt chocolate in a double boiler. Set aside to cool to room temperature. While chocolate is cooling, puree bananas in food processor. Stir peanut butter and bananas into cooled chocolate mixture. Fold in whipped cream, mixing to combine.
3. Pour mixture into the prepared pan. Top with peanuts. Fold wax paper over the top before wrapping in plastic wrap. Freeze until firm, at least 3 hours.
