These healthful snacks—bananas, peanut butter and a second fruit—have so much pizzazz that we think they can go right to the dessert plate.
You can use any flavor of peanut butter (check out these flavors from PB & Co.—dark or white chocolate, honey, pumpkin spice).
If you’re not a PB or other nut butter fan, turn your sights to another sauce or spread:
Dessert sauce: caramel, chocolate, etc.
Berry or other fruit (finely diced, mashed or puréed)
Honey
Nutella
For garnishes, consider:
Berries
Breakfast cereal: Cheerios, Fruit Loops, granola
Chopped or grated chocolate
Chopped nuts
Cookie crumbs
Crushed toffee
Diced fruits (apple, kiwi, etc.)
Dried fruits: blueberries, cherries, cranberries, raisins
Seeds
Sprinkles
For a DIY experience, put all the toppings on the table and let everyone create his/her own.

For something more filling, adds a side of Greek yogurt or ricotta cheese. We sweeten our ricotta with a bit of Splenda, to emulate cannoli cream. Sour cream is another great pairing.
For a fancier dessert, add ice cream/frozen yogurt/sorbet and a dab of whipped cream.
