Ingredients
Scale
Banana Toppings
- 1/3 cup peanut butter (or PB2 powder mixed with water)
- ¼ cup chopped peanuts
- Optional: sugar free or regular caramel for drizzle
Main Ingredient
- 3 large bananas
Chocolate Coating
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 2 tsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make freezing easier.
- Slice Bananas: Peel the bananas, cut each banana in half, then slice those halves vertically to create smaller banana pieces. Arrange the banana slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Melt Chocolate: Combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
- Assemble Toppings: Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of peanut butter evenly over each banana slice. If using, drizzle a small amount of caramel over the peanut butter layer. Sprinkle chopped peanuts generously on top.
- Add Chocolate Drizzle: Drizzle the melted chocolate over the banana slices topped with peanut butter, caramel, and peanuts. Finish by sprinkling a little more chopped peanuts on top for extra crunch.
- Freeze: Place the prepared baking sheet in the freezer and let the banana Snickers freeze for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
- Store and Serve: Transfer any leftover frozen banana bites to an airtight, freezer-safe container. Before serving, allow the treats to thaw for about 5 minutes for optimal texture and flavor.

- Storing leftover bites in an airtight container prevents freezer burn and maintains freshness.
- Allowing the bites to thaw slightly before eating will enhance the flavor and texture.
