Chocolate Covered Frozen Banana Bites (Printable Version)

Frozen banana rounds coated in chocolate with peanut butter and nutty toppings. Sweet, easy, and satisfying.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 2 large ripe bananas

→ Chocolate Coating

02 - 200 g semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

→ Optional Layer

03 - 4 tbsp creamy peanut butter

→ Topping (optional)

04 - 2 tbsp crushed nuts (e.g., peanuts, almonds, or walnuts)
05 - 1 tbsp shredded coconut
06 - 1 tbsp sprinkles

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Peel the bananas and slice into 1 cm thick rounds. Arrange the slices on the prepared baking sheet.
03 - (Optional) Top each banana slice with a small dollop (about ½ tsp) of peanut butter.
04 - Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 30 minutes, until the banana slices are firm.
05 - Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until smooth. Alternatively, melt in a double boiler.
06 - Remove the banana slices from the freezer. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each slice into the melted chocolate, coating completely. Let excess chocolate drip off.
07 - Return each chocolate-coated banana bite to the baking sheet. If desired, immediately sprinkle with crushed nuts, coconut, or sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
08 - Freeze for at least 1½ hours, or until completely firm.
09 - Serve frozen. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
