Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 medium bananas
- ⅓ cup (79 milliliters) peanut butter
- 10–12 ounces (283–340 grams) chocolate chips or finely chopped chocolate
Sweeteners:
- Optional: honey or maple syrup (to taste)
Toppings (Optional):
- Chopped nuts
- Shredded coconut
- Sea salt
Instructions
- Meticulously slice ripe bananas into uniform thin rounds, approximately 0.25 inches (6 millimeters) thick, positioning them evenly across a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Carefully spread precisely of creamy peanut butter onto one half of the banana slices, ensuring an even, smooth layer.
- Gently place corresponding banana slices atop the peanut butter-coated rounds, creating delicate banana-peanut butter sandwich bites.
- Transfer the assembled banana bites to the freezer, allowing them to chill and solidify for 15-20 minutes, which helps stabilize their structure.
- Utilize a double boiler or microwave to gradually melt dark or milk chocolate, stirring consistently every 10 seconds to maintain a silky, uniform consistency and prevent scorching.
- Using a fork or dipping tool, submerge each frozen banana sandwich into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to gracefully drip off before placement.
- Arrange the chocolate-enrobed banana delights onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, then refrigerate for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate coating completely sets and hardens.
