peggi's own hound dog bites (for humans)

Recipe by

So...I had made of some of Jane Louis' Peanut Butter Fluff & was wondering what I could use it on besides ice cream. Then I got to thinking; Peanut Butter & bananas! Elvis' favorite sandwich. So, I developed this recipe, & in honor of the King, I'm calling it Hound Dog Bites! This is a perfect dessert dish or sweet appetizer. You can not even taste the tortilla wrapper in this. I just used it to bind the peanut butter, bananas, & frosted flakes together. Works perfect! You have the perfect combination of flavors & textures. I tried them 24 hours later too & no change at all. Banana was still perfect & flakes were still crunchy. Refer to picture. I do hope you try this & let me know what you think. I know it will be a big hit at MY next get together.

How To Make peggi's own hound dog bites (for humans)

  • 1
    Prepare Jane Louise's Peanut Butter Fluff acording to her directions on her recipe. https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/lovinspoonful/church-peanut-butter-spread/spread?k=CHURCH%27S+Peanut+butter+spread&p=1&o=r. If you have it refrigerated already, take as much out as needed & place in microwave bowl & gently warm just enough for spreading easily. About 25 to 30 seconds.
  • STEP 2
    2
    Lay out one of the flour tortillas & spread a thin layer on shell, but not too thin, leaving about 1/4" all the way around shell free from spread. It will ooze out otherwise.
  • STEP 3
    3
    Sprinkle enough whole, Sugar Frosted Flakes on top of the Peanut Butter Fluff to cover but don't over do it.
  • STEP 4
    4
    Peel banana & lay a whole banana toward one long side of prepared tortilla. Will probably take 1 1/2 bananas for each tortilla. I only used one for this when trying, as I didn't know how it would turn out & didn't want to waste another banana if it didn't turn out.
  • STEP 5
    5
    Tightly roll around the banana.
  • STEP 6

    Using a sharp serrated knife, slice into about 1/2" slices & place on waxed paper, laying flat.
  • 7
    In a small, deep microwave bowl, melt the chocolate & paraffin together, Start with 1 minute & stir & then keep heating & stirring every 30 seconds until it is all melted.
  • STEP 8

    Using your hand, pick up the rolls, one at a time & dip the first 2/3 of roll into chocolate mixture & place on waxed paper, chocolate side down. Repeat until all are coated on the first side. Place the waxed paper on a small tray & place in fridge for 5 minutes to set up. Refer to picture.
  • 9
    Make sure your chocolate is still warm. Set aside. In another small deep bowl, coarsly crush enough Sugar Frosted Flakes for dipping the tops of rolls in.
  • STEP 10

    Take rolls out of fridge &, one at a time, dip the other 1/3 in the chocolate & then immediately in the crushed flakes. Place back on waxed paper, flake side up. Repeat until all are coated. Place in fridge until ready to serve.
