Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Bites Recipe

Introduction

Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Bites are a delicious and easy frozen snack perfect for satisfying sweet cravings. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a creamy, crunchy treat that’s refreshing and indulgent.

The image shows about fifteen smooth, milk chocolate-covered rounds placed on a piece of light brown parchment paper, which rests on a white plate with a colorful striped cloth underneath. Each chocolate round is thick and shiny with a small dip or mark on the top surface, appearing soft and creamy inside but covered completely in chocolate. The round shapes vary slightly in size and are grouped closely together, giving a neat and tidy arrangement on the paper. The overall feeling is of sweet, homemade chocolate treats ready to be enjoyed, set against a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • Bananas
  • Peanut Butter
  • Melted Chocolate (milk chocolate candy wafers, dark chocolate chips, or almond bark)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Slice the bananas into 3/8″ to 1/2″ thick slices.
  2. Step 2: Spread a good smear of peanut butter between two banana slices to make a small sandwich.
  3. Step 3: Place the banana-peanut butter sandwiches on parchment paper and freeze just until firm and the slices stick together. This helps when coating with chocolate.
  4. Step 4: While the banana bites chill, melt your preferred chocolate gently until smooth.
  5. Step 5: Use a toothpick to dip each frozen banana bite into the melted chocolate, coating it fully. Lay the coated bites on parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until the chocolate is set.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts or shredded coconut onto the chocolate before it sets.
  • Try using almond butter or cashew butter as a peanut butter alternative.
  • Dark chocolate adds a richer flavor and pairs wonderfully with the sweetness of the banana.
  • If you don’t have parchment paper, a silicone baking mat works well for freezing.

Storage

Store the frozen chocolate banana peanut butter bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. To enjoy, remove from the freezer and let them sit a few minutes to soften slightly before serving.

How to Serve

The banana slices are pale yellow with a soft texture, while the peanut butter layers are smooth and light brown, slightly oozing out from the edges. The stacks are arranged loosely on a clean white marbled surface. In the background, a white bowl filled with peanut butter sits on a striped cloth with red, purple, and yellow lines, slightly blurred to keep focus on the banana and peanut butter stacks in the foreground. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

  • 2 ripe bananas

Filling

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

Coating

  • 1 cup milk chocolate candy wafers (or dark chocolate chips or almond bark), melted

Instructions

  1. Slice Bananas: Cut the bananas into 3/8″ to 1/2″ thick slices to create the base for the bites.
  2. Assemble Bites: Spread a generous smear of peanut butter onto one banana slice and sandwich it with another slice to make a bite-sized sandwich.
  3. Freeze Bites: Place the banana-peanut butter sandwiches on parchment paper and freeze just until the bananas are firm and stuck to the peanut butter, about 30 minutes. This step helps the bites hold together for coating.
  4. Melt Chocolate: While the bites chill, melt your preferred chocolate (milk chocolate candy wafers, dark chocolate chips, or almond bark) using a double boiler or microwave in short intervals, stirring often until smooth.
  5. Coat with Chocolate: Use a toothpick to skewer each frozen banana bite and dip it thoroughly into the melted chocolate, ensuring a complete coat.
  6. Set and Freeze: Place the coated bites onto a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Freeze again until the chocolate hardens, about 15–20 minutes, then enjoy your frozen treat!

Notes

  • For a smoother chocolate coating, melt chocolate chips or almond bark instead of candy wafers.
  • Use ripe but firm bananas to avoid overly mushy bites.
  • Store the bites in an airtight container in the freezer to keep them fresh for up to 2 weeks.
  • These bites are perfect for a quick snack or healthy dessert alternative.
