This was delicious and felt sinful to eat. I used honey peanut butter (what I had in pantry) and I heated the wrap in a warm skillet prior to rolling it up. The chocolate was melted into the peanut butter and WOW! What a breakfast.

You can alternatively use a lower carbohydrate wrap in lieu of the tortilla! Whee! Great recipes here! Kudos to the chefs!

peanut butter wraps
This recipe is great. However I use sliced stawberries instead of the choc. chips. Seems healthier with berries instead of choc. Don't really need the honey if you use strawberries and bananas.

Yummy
Liked this....but if you are just planning on feeding yourself, make sure you use the small size wrap. The chips add a little something and overall it was really good.

Mmmmmm!
I love this recipe! Peanut butter is my favorite, and when you add bananas, chocolate, and honey....oh my gosh! I like to heat up the tortilla on my stove, and even add some granola and light cool whip to it. It's fabulous!
