Ingredients

Scale

3 Large Ripe Bananas
1/2 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter
1 Cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil
Pinch Sea Salt

Instructions

  1. Peel the three large bananas and slice them into rounds about 1/2 inch thick. Try to keep the thickness consistent so your frozen banana bites with chocolate stack evenly
  2. Lay half of the banana slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place a small dollop (about 1/2 teaspoon) of peanut butter on each slice. Top with the remaining banana slices to create a "sandwich" for your frozen banana bites with chocolate
  3. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 1 hour. This step ensures the peanut butter sets so the frozen banana bites with chocolate don't slide apart during dipping
  4. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the halal certified chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and glossy. This coating is essential for the frozen banana bites with chocolate
  5. Remove the banana sandwiches from the freezer. Using a fork or a toothpick, dip each sandwich into the melted chocolate until fully coated. Let the excess drip off before placing the frozen banana bites with chocolate back on the parchment paper
  6. Return the frozen banana bites with chocolate to the freezer for another 30 to 60 minutes until the chocolate shell is firm

Notes

To get the best results with your frozen banana bites with chocolate, use bananas that are ripe but not mushy. If the bananas are too soft, they will fall apart when you try to dip them.

Furthermore, make sure your peanut butter is at room temperature. Cold peanut butter is difficult to portion onto the frozen banana bites with chocolate.

If your chocolate begins to thicken while dipping the frozen banana bites with chocolate, simply pop it back in the microwave for 10 seconds.

Always use parchment paper or a silicone mat. If you place frozen banana bites with chocolate directly on a metal tray, they will stick and break.

For a beautiful finish, sprinkle the frozen banana bites with chocolate with toppings immediately after dipping, before the chocolate hardens.

I recommend placing a layer of parchment paper between layers of frozen banana bites with chocolate to prevent them from sticking together.

Do not thaw the frozen banana bites with chocolate before eating. They are meant to be enjoyed straight from the freezer.

If you leave frozen banana bites with chocolate on the counter for too long, the banana will become mushy and the chocolate may sweat. Always keep your frozen banana bites with chocolate chilled until the moment you want to snack.
