Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 bananas
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts
Instructions
- Prepare Bananas: Cut your bananas into fourths to create bite-sized pieces, perfect for snacking and easy coating.
- Arrange for Freezing: Lay the banana pieces on a small parchment-lined cookie sheet that fits into the freezer, ensuring they do not touch to prevent sticking.
- Drizzle Peanut Butter: If needed, microwave the peanut butter for 20-30 seconds in a small bowl to make it more drizzleable, then evenly drizzle it over each banana piece.
- Melt Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl by heating for 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully melted (about 1 minute 30 seconds).
- Drizzle Chocolate: Drizzle the melted chocolate over the peanut butter-coated bananas to add a rich, chocolaty layer.
- Add Peanuts: Sprinkle chopped peanuts over the chocolate-covered banana pieces, adding a crunchy texture reminiscent of Snickers bars.
- Freeze: Place the tray in the freezer and allow the bananas to freeze for 2 hours until solid.
- Store Properly: Once frozen, transfer the banana pieces to a freezer bag or airtight container for convenient storage and to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Microwaving peanut butter makes it easier to drizzle smoothly over bananas.
- Use parchment paper to prevent bananas from sticking to the tray.
- These treats are best enjoyed straight from the freezer to keep their texture.
- For a nut-free version, omit the chopped peanuts and use sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.
- Use dark chocolate chips for a healthier chocolate option.
