Banana Base
Toppings
- 4 tbsp peanut butter
- 3 tbsp chopped peanuts
- Sea salt, to taste
Chocolate Drizzle
- 4 to 5 tbsp dark chocolate, melted
- ¼ tsp coconut oil
- Cut bananas into bars: Peel the ripe bananas and cut each one in half lengthwise. Then, cut each half into two parts, resulting in eight banana slices. Place all banana slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spread peanut butter over banana slices: Evenly spread peanut butter on top of each banana slice, making sure the peanut butter covers the surface completely. This will add flavor and help the toppings stick.
- Add chopped peanuts and sea salt: Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt and a generous amount of chopped peanuts over the peanut butter-covered banana slices for added crunch and a salty contrast to the sweetness.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- 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.
- 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
- Use ripe but firm bananas to prevent them from becoming mushy when frozen.
- 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.
- For extra indulgence, add a drizzle of caramel before freezing.
