Health and fertility benefits of Frozen Chocolate-Dipped Bananas with Peanut Brittle

Nuts are a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity.

Ingredients

8 medium bananas
1 cup salted dry-roasted peanuts
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter plus more for baking sheet
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
12 ounces bittersweet (60% cacao) chocolate, chopped
Special equipment: 8 wooden popsicle sticks (4 1/2- by 1/2-inch); candy thermometer

Instructions

Line a large baking sheet with wax paper.
Peel bananas and carefully insert a popsicle stick into bottom end of each banana, halfway up stick. Arrange bananas on the baking sheet and freeze until firm but not frozen hard, about 1 hour. (You don't want the bananas so cold that the chocolate solidifies before you have a chance to add the peanut brittle.)
