Frozen Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bites
These Frozen Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bites are a perfect bite-sized treat that combines creamy peanut butter, ripe bananas, and rich chocolate for a refreshing and satisfying dessert!
Ingredients:
3 ripe bananas
½ cup creamy peanut butter
1 ½ cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
Sea salt (optional, for sprinkling)
Directions:
1. Prepare the Bananas:
Peel the bananas and slice them into ¼-inch thick rounds.
Pair up the slices to make little banana “sandwiches.”
2. Add the Peanut Butter:
Spread about ½ teaspoon of peanut butter between each pair of banana slices.
Place the peanut butter banana sandwiches on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
3. Freeze the Banana Sandwiches:
Freeze the banana sandwiches for about 30 minutes or until firm.
4. Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stove.
5. Dip the Frozen Bites:
Remove the frozen banana sandwiches from the freezer.
Using a fork or toothpick, dip each banana sandwich into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
Place the chocolate-dipped bites back onto the parchment-lined sheet.
6. Optional Toppings:
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each bite for a sweet-salty combination, or add other toppings like crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or sprinkles.
7. Freeze Again:
Freeze the chocolate-covered banana bites for another 20-30 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
Enjoy!
Once fully frozen, enjoy these Frozen Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bites as a cool, sweet treat! Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for a quick snack anytime.
