🕒 Cook Time: 10 minutes
🕒 Chill Time: 2 hours
📦 Yield: ~36 pieces

🧾 Ingredients:

• 2 ripe bananas (about 1 cup mashed)

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter

• 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1/4 cup milk

• 1 cup white chocolate chips (or chopped white chocolate)

• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (optional, enhances banana flavor)

🍽️ Instructions:

1. Prep the Pan:
   Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Mash the Bananas:
   In a medium saucepan, mash the bananas until smooth. Heat gently over medium-low heat to cook off excess moisture (3–4 minutes), stirring often.

3. Add Butter and Milk:
   Stir in the butter and milk. Continue heating until the butter is melted and fully combined.

4. Melt the Chocolate:
   Remove the pan from heat. Stir in white chocolate chips until melted and smooth.

5. Add Vanilla & Sugar:
   Mix in vanilla extract and salt. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar (sifted) until smooth. You can use a hand mixer or a strong spoon.

6. Add Nuts (Optional):
   Fold in chopped nuts and cinnamon if using.

7. Pour and Set:
   Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.

8. Chill:
   Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.

9. Cut and Serve:
   Once set, cut into small squares. Store in the fridge in an airtight container.

🔁 Variations:

• Chocolate Banana Fudge: Use milk or dark chocolate instead of white chocolate.

• Vegan Option: Use vegan butter, dairy-free chocolate, and plant-based milk.
