Here's how to make it:

1. Mash the banana in a mixing bowl.

3. Mix well.
4. Fill muffin tins lined with baking liners 2/3 full with the batter (I got 10).
5. Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Do not overbake! Mine took about 20 minutes in the oven, but ovens vary.
6. Let them cool before removing from the baking liners. Store the chocolate bombs in an airtight container on the counter.
