How to Make Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Banana Bites

Ingredients:

• 2 ripe bananas

• ½ cup peanut butter (opt for natural, unsweetened for fewer additives)

• 1 cup dark chocolate chips

• 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate coating)

Instructions:

1. Slice the Bananas:
   Peel and slice the bananas into thick, bite-sized rounds.

2. Add Peanut Butter:
   Spread a small dollop of peanut butter onto one side of a banana slice. Place another slice on top to create a “sandwich.”

3. Freeze:
   Arrange the peanut butter banana sandwiches on a tray lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 1-2 hours until firm.

4. Melt the Chocolate:
   In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips with the coconut oil (if using) in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.

5. Dip and Coat:
   Using a fork or toothpick, dip each frozen banana sandwich into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Return to the parchment paper-lined tray.

6. Set and Serve:
   Place the tray back into the freezer for another 30 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens. Once set, enjoy!
