These Mini Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bites are such a sweet little treat creamy, crunchy, chocolatey, and ready in minutes. They’re perfect for a freezer-friendly snack or a light dessert that feels both nostalgic and fun.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup chocolate chips (dark or semi-sweet)
- 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
- Optional: Crushed peanuts or mini chocolate chips for topping
- Swap: Almond or cashew butter works beautifully too
Steps
- Slice the bananas into small rounds aim for about 1/4 inch thick so the bites stay mini and easy to dip.
- Spread a tiny dab of peanut butter on half the slices, then top each with another slice to make little banana “sandwiches.”
- Freeze for 20–30 minutes until firm enough to handle.
- Melt the chocolate and coconut oil until smooth and glossy.
- Dip each frozen sandwich into the chocolate, letting excess drip off. Don’t stress if they’re a little uneven — they still look adorable.
- Place on a parchment-lined tray and freeze again for 10–15 minutes until the chocolate sets.
Chef’s Tips
- Work quickly when dipping banana melts fast in warm hands, which is why the first freeze is important.
- If your chocolate thickens, warm it for a few seconds to keep dipping smooth.
- For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped peanuts on top before freezing.
Variations
- Chocolate Almond Bites: Use almond butter inside and top with crushed almonds.
- Strawberry Banana Bites: Add a tiny slice of strawberry inside each sandwich.
- Protein Boost: Mix 1 teaspoon chocolate protein powder into the peanut butter.
Serving Suggestion
Enjoy these straight from the freezer for the perfect cool, creamy bite especially on warm afternoons or as a sweet little after-dinner treat.
