They’re so easy to make, and trust me, having a batch of these in the freezer will make you the Queen of the street! My babes LOVE them, and they make any play date feel fancy.
Here’s how to make a batch:
Chop up your bananas into 1cm round and place half of them on a lined oven tray.
Top with a dollop of peanut butter.
Top the peanut butter with the last of the banana rounds.
Dunk those banana babies in dark chocolate and pop in the freezer to set. Enjoy straight from the freezer.
These Frozen Chocolate Peanut Butter Bites have to be the yummiest recipe to use up just-ripe bananas. Sure, there are a few steps, but get the kids on hand and make a HUGE batch and you’ll have sweet treats for weeks to come.
And if you need to sell the kids on them, tell them they’re little ice cream bites. Seriously, bananas frozen give that texture and taste.
They are GREAT!
Total Time:1 hour 10 minutes
Yield:81x
Ingredients
UnitsScale
4 just-ripe bananas
1/4cuppeanut butter
150gdark chocolate (melted (or my homemade raw chocolate))
Instructions
Line an oven tray with parchment paper, do check it fits easily in your freezer first 😉 Now go ahead and slice your bananas into 1/2cm size pieces and lay half of them on your lined tray — a perfect job for little hands to help you with.
Then, using two knives, pop some peanut butter on top of the banana rounds. Top with the remaining banana pieces and get them in the freezer to set. 30mins-to-an-hour should do it.
Now melt your chocolate, or you might choose to make up a raw chocolate version; you decide. Using two spoons, dip the frozen bananas in your chocolate. Pop them back on the tray and let them set for a 15mins in the freezer. Then get MUNCHING!
They store GREAT in a glass jar in the freezer. Eat them straight from the freezer; they taste like ice cream bites!
Notes
You can use other fruits in place of the bananas. I’ve done it with mango cheeks. strawberries and peaches.
Play around with the nut butters. Hazelnut, almond and even tahini for a nut-free option is GREAT!
