What You’ll Need

Gather these ingredients to start making your treats:

How to Make It

Start by preparing the banana bites and then move on to coating them in chocolate.

1. Slice bananas
   Cut banana into slices (about 1/4 inch – 0.7 cm each). Set aside half of the slices and arrange the other half on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

2. Heat peanut butter
   Heat peanut butter in the microwave on low/medium for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring in between, until it’s smooth and easily spreadable.

   

3. Assemble bites
   Spoon about one heaped 1/4 teaspoon (up to 1/2 teaspoon if the banana is large) of peanut butter on the banana slices on the baking sheet. Top with the other half of the banana slices you set aside earlier. Freeze for two hours.

4. Melt chocolate
   When the banana sandwiches are frozen, prepare the chocolate. Place chopped chocolate (or chocolate chips if using) in a microwave-safe bowl along with the coconut oil. Microwave on low/medium heat in 30 seconds bursts, stirring in between each, until chocolate is fully melted and glossy (watch carefully so the chocolate doesn’t burn).

5. Dip bites
   Prepare another baking sheet (or a plate) with parchment paper. Take two to three bites out of the freezer. One by one, dip them in the melted chocolate and using two forks, "roll" them in chocolate to cover all sides.

6. Set chocolate
   Remove excess chocolate and place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining frozen sandwiches. Place the chocolate covered bites back in the freezer until set.

7. Store bites
   Once they are set, you can transfer them to a container. Store in the freezer. If your teeth are sensitive to the cold, take them out of the freezer a couple of minutes before eating them so they’re not too cold.

How to Store It

Fridge: Best within 2 days in an airtight container.
Freezer: Yes, for longer-lasting freshness.
Reheat: No reheating necessary; enjoy frozen.

Tips for Best Results

• Make sure bananas are ripe but still firm for the best texture.
