Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Bananas
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil
- 0.5 cup Crushed peanuts (optional)
- 0.25 cup Sprinkles (optional)
- 6 pieces Popsicle sticks
Instructions
Peel the bananas and cut each one in half crosswise to create a total of six banana pieces.
Insert a popsicle stick into the flat cut end of each banana piece and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes to 1 hour until firm.
While the bananas are freezing, prepare the chocolate coating. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
In a separate small bowl, soften the peanut butter by microwaving it for 10-15 seconds or until it is easy to drizzle.
Once the bananas are frozen, remove them from the freezer. Dip each banana piece into the melted chocolate until fully coated, letting the excess drip off.
Drizzle the softened peanut butter over the chocolate-coated bananas in a zigzag pattern using a spoon or a piping bag.
If desired, sprinkle the crushed peanuts or colorful sprinkles onto the bananas before the chocolate sets for added texture and fun.
Return the coated bananas to the parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for an additional 10-15 minutes until the chocolate and peanut butter are set.
Serve immediately as a frozen snack or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
