Introduction

This Frozen Banana Snickers recipe is a delicious, healthy treat that combines creamy peanut butter, ripe bananas, and rich dark chocolate. Easy to make and perfect for a cool snack, it captures the flavors of the classic candy bar in a fresh, homemade way.

Ingredients

• 2 medium ripe bananas
• 4 tbsp peanut butter
• 4 to 5 tbsp dark chocolate, melted
• ¼ tsp coconut oil
• 3 tbsp chopped peanuts
• Sea salt, to taste

Instructions

1. Step 1: Peel the bananas and cut each in half lengthwise. Then cut each half into two smaller pieces. You should have about 8 banana bars in total. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: Spread peanut butter evenly over each banana piece, covering the surface completely. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt and chopped peanuts over the peanut butter.
3. Step 3: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Melt them in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and fully melted.
4. Step 4: Drizzle the melted chocolate over the peanut butter-covered banana slices. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and chill for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is hardened.

Tips & Variations

• Use crunchy peanut butter for extra texture or substitute almond butter if preferred.
• Add a sprinkle of crushed pretzels for a salty crunch.
• For a sweeter touch, drizzle caramel sauce instead of chocolate.
• If you don’t have coconut oil, you can melt chocolate alone, but the final texture may be less smooth.

Storage

Store the frozen banana Snickers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. To enjoy, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating, or eat straight from the freezer for a firmer texture.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate?

Yes, you can use milk chocolate if you prefer a sweeter and creamier flavor, but dark chocolate offers a nice balance to the peanut butter and bananas.

How do I prevent the bananas from becoming too mushy?

Using ripe but firm bananas helps keep the texture. Freezing immediately after assembly also preserves firmness and prevents mushiness.

5. Drizzle chocolate over banana Snickers slices: Using a spoon, drizzle the melted chocolate evenly over each peanut butter banana slice, coating them partially or fully to your preference.
6. Freeze to set: Place the baking sheet with the banana Snickers slices in the freezer for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate has hardened and the bananas are chilled, resulting in a perfect frozen treat.

Notes

• You can substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter for variation.
• Ensure the chocolate is fully melted and smooth for easier drizzling and better coating.
• Store leftover banana Snickers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
