Banana Candy

Here’s a simple and delicious Banana Candy recipe for you! It’s like a sweet, chewy banana treat—perfect for snacking or sharing.

Banana Candy Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup mashed ripe banana (about 2 medium bananas)

• 2 cups powdered sugar (confectioners’ sugar), sifted

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for a bit of tang)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

• Extra powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions:

1. Prepare the bananas: Peel and mash the ripe bananas very well until smooth.

2. Mix ingredients: In a bowl, combine the mashed banana, lemon juice, and vanilla extract (if using). Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing well. Keep adding powdered sugar until the mixture is firm enough to knead and shape — it should be sticky but manageable.

3. Knead and roll: Dust a clean surface with powdered sugar. Transfer the mixture onto it and knead gently, folding it over itself. Roll it out to about 1/4 inch thickness.

4. Cut shapes: Use a knife or cookie cutters to cut the candy into bite-sized pieces or fun shapes.

5. Dry the candy: Place the pieces on a tray lined with parchment paper. Let them dry at room temperature for several hours or overnight until they firm up.

6. Store: Once dry, dust with a little more powdered sugar to prevent sticking and store in an airtight container.

Tips:

• Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness.

• For firmer candy, you can add a bit more powdered sugar.

• Optional: Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for a twist.
