Frozen Banana Snickers Bites
Delicious bite-sized snacks combining creamy banana, peanut butter, crunchy peanuts, and a crisp dark chocolate shell, perfect for a sweet but light treat.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 large large firm, ripe bananas Choose bananas that are ripe but still firm.
- 2-3 tablespoons natural creamy peanut butter Use unsweetened for a real peanut taste.
- 2 tablespoons roasted unsalted peanuts, roughly chopped Chop fairly small for better coverage.
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips Use 70% cacao or higher.
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil Helps chocolate drizzle smoothly.
- Sea salt flakes (optional) Add if you want a sweet-salty contrast.
Optional Add-ins
- mini pretzel pieces For added crunch.
- shredded coconut For chewiness.
- chopped dates For extra caramel-like sweetness.
Instructions
Preparation
- Slice the bananas into thick coins (about ½ inch). Arrange them in a single layer and freeze for 15–20 minutes, just until the surface feels firm to the touch.
- Spread about ½ teaspoon peanut butter onto each banana coin. Aim for an even layer that reaches close to the edge.
- Sprinkle the chopped roasted peanuts over the peanut butter. If using, add a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt on each one.
Chocolate Coating
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips with the coconut oil until smooth and glossy. Stir well.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over each banana bite, or dip each bite into the chocolate.
- Return the bites to the freezer for 30–60 minutes, until the chocolate feels hard and set.
Serving
- Let the bites sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before serving.
- Transfer to a freezer-safe container once fully set and store for later.
Notes
For best results, use firm-ripe bananas and do not skip the first freeze. Go thin on the chocolate to create a crisp shell.
