Banana Base
Peanut Butter Topping
- 4 tablespoons peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons chopped peanuts
- Sea salt (a pinch for sprinkling)
Chocolate Drizzle
- 4 to 5 tablespoons dark chocolate (melted)
- ¼ teaspoon coconut oil
- Cut bananas into bars: Peel the bananas and cut each banana in half lengthwise. Then, cut each half into two parts to get a total of 8 banana slices. Place these sliced bananas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spread peanut butter over banana slices: Using a spoon or knife, spread peanut butter evenly over each banana slice, making sure to cover the entire surface. This creamy layer adds flavor and holds the toppings.
- Add peanuts and salt: Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top of the peanut butter-covered banana slices. Add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavor and create a sweet-salty balance.
- Prepare chocolate drizzle: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Heat the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and melted.
- Drizzle chocolate over banana Snickers: Using a spoon, drizzle the melted chocolate generously over each peanut butter banana slice. Make sure the chocolate coats the toppings well for that rich taste.
- Freeze until set: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the banana Snickers to freeze for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate has hardened. Once set, enjoy your frozen treat immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas to ensure easy cutting and best texture.
- You can substitute crunchy peanut butter if you prefer extra texture inside the spread.
- If you don’t have coconut oil, a small amount of butter or vegetable oil can be used to help melt the chocolate smoothly.
- For a nut-free version, omit peanuts and use sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.
- Consume the frozen banana Snickers within 1 week for optimal freshness.
