Ingredient list

2 fully ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
½ cup sugar
1 Tbsp. orange juice
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
Pinch of salt
1 pkg. (4 oz.) semi-sweet baking chocolate, melted, divided
48 NILLA Wafers
3 Tbsp. multi-colored sprinkles (red, white and green)

Directions

Combine bananas, sugar, orange juice, lemon juice and salt in medium saucepan; bring to boil on medium heat, stirring frequently. Simmer on medium-low heat 10 to 15 min. or until thickened, stirring frequently.

Spoon 1/2 cup prepared banana jam into bowl. Refrigerate 30 min. or until cooled. Meanwhile, refrigerate remaining jam in separate bowl until ready to use as desired. (See Tip.)

Cover baking sheet with parchment. Spread thin layer of melted chocolate onto flat side of each wafer; place, chocolate side up, on prepared baking sheet. Let stand 5 min.

Spoon 1 tsp. of the cooled 1/2 cup banana jam onto center of each of 24 of the wafers; cover with remaining wafers, chocolate coated sides down, to make 24 wafer sandwiches.

Dip sandwiches, 1 at a time, halfway into remaining melted chocolate; return to baking sheet. Top with sprinkles.

Refrigerate 30 min. or until chocolate is firm. Keep refrigerated.
