Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel the bananas and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds. You should get about 6-8 slices per banana.
- Lay out half of the banana slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spread a small amount of peanut butter (around 1/2 to 1 teaspoon) on each banana slice. Be careful not to use too much so it doesn’t ooze out too much when sandwiched.
- Place another banana slice on top of each peanut butter-coated slice to form a sandwich. Gently press them together.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 30 minutes to an hour, or until the banana bites are firm. This will make it easier to dip them in chocolate.
- While the banana bites are freezing, melt the chocolate candies or chips. You can do this by placing the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heating it in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stove.
- Once the banana bites are firm, remove them from the freezer.
- Using a fork or a pair of tongs, dip each banana bite into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.
- Place the chocolate-covered banana bites back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Once all bites are coated, return the baking sheet to the freezer for another 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened completely.
- Your chocolate-covered peanut butter banana bites are now ready to be enjoyed! Serve them immediately or refrigerate them in an airtight container until ready to eat.
Tips:
- Use ripe but firm bananas to make slicing and handling easier.
- If you find peanut butter too thick, try warming it slightly to make spreading easier.
- Opt for dark chocolate if you prefer a less sweet and slightly more bitter flavor.
- Place the banana slices on parchment paper to prevent sticking while freezing and dipping in chocolate.
- Use toothpicks or a fork to dip banana slices into the melted chocolate without making a mess.
- Allow the chocolate-dipped bites to chill in the fridge for a more solid and satisfying crunch.
In just a few easy steps, you can create these scrumptious chocolate-covered peanut butter banana bites. Whether you're looking for a healthy snack with a touch of indulgence or a unique treat for your next gathering, these bites are a perfect choice. Enjoy the harmony of flavors and the joy of sharing them with loved ones!
