Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large ripe bananas, slightly spotted
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup crushed peanuts
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce, store-bought or homemade
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate, chopped (for coating)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (for melting chocolate)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling: In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Mix until smooth.
- Fold in crushed peanuts and mini chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Banana Slices: Peel and slice bananas into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Assemble the Banana Snickers Bites: Scoop the chilled peanut butter filling onto one banana slice and top with another banana slice, creating sandwiches.
- Freeze the assembled bites on the baking sheet for at least 1 hour until firm.
- Melt the Chocolate: Place chopped chocolate and coconut oil in a heat-safe bowl over simmering water. Stir until completely melted and smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Dip and Decorate: Dip each frozen banana bite into the melted chocolate, coating completely. Let excess chocolate drip off.
- Place dipped bites back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle with crushed peanuts while the chocolate is wet.
- Freeze for at least 15 minutes to set the chocolate.
- Serve cold. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week.
Notes
- For best results, use slightly spotted, ripe bananas.
- Refrigerating the peanut butter filling makes it easier to work with.
- Freezing the assembled bites before dipping is crucial for a clean chocolate coating.
- Use a double boiler to melt the chocolate slowly and prevent burning.
- Customize with different types of chocolate, toppings, or even other fruits.
- Store leftover bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week.
