- For the canola oil, you’ll want around 2 inches or so. You cant to be able to fully submerge the sandwich in the oil.

- Spread creamy peanut butter evenly on one slice of bread.
- Spread grape jelly evenly on another slice of bread.
- This is very important: Pause to lick any peanut butter or jelly you may have gotten on your fingers.
- Slice the banana and place onto the piece of bread with the peanut butter.
- Close sandwich and submerge into the bowl of funnel cake batter until completely covered.
- Place the sandwich into the preheated oil but be careful! Use tongs or a large slotted spoon.
- Fry until golden brown on both sides.
- Remove from oil and place onto paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
- Drizzle as much chocolate syrup as you’d like and garnish with powdered sugar and done!
Enjoy!
