In a hurry, but need a luscious dessert? The following Banana Peanut Butter Cup Galette is made of only three ingredients. Frozen puff pastry is rolled out lightly, pricked with a fork, and baked – this step can be done several days ahead. Just before or a few hours before serving, fresh bananas are arranged over the top, peanut butter cups are scattered over all, and the galette is heated for about 10 minutes or until the chocolate is melted. Now how easy is that?

Not only is this an attractive dessert, it’s gooey and good. To save time, miniature peanut butter cups can be purchased unwrapped in 12-ounce packages, or really tiny ones can be purchased in the bulk candy departments of many grocery stores. The regular size ones take slightly more time to unwrap, but work well if the other types aren’t available. Readymade puff pastry is available in the frozen foods department, and some grocery stores carry it already rolled out into rounds. Whatever your preferences or availability in your area, you’ll find this easy dessert is a winner and will be requested over and over.
