Ingredients
  

3 ripe bananas

1 cup smooth peanut butter

1 cup chocolate chips (choose between milk or dark)

1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for a smoother chocolate coating)

1 cup crushed unsalted peanuts

Sea salt, for a finishing sprinkle

Popsicle sticks or wooden skewers

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Begin by peeling the bananas and slicing them in half. Carefully insert a popsicle stick into the cut end of each banana half, making sure it feels secure and balanced for easy handling.

    Peanut Butter Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, warm the peanut butter in the microwave for 20-30 seconds until it reaches a slightly runny consistency. Stir until smooth and creamier. Dip each banana half into the peanut butter, ensuring that they are generously coated on all sides.

      Freeze the Bananas: Arrange the peanut butter-dipped bananas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place them in the freezer for about 1 hour, or until the peanut butter has set and hardened.

        Chocolaty Coating: In a clean microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips with coconut oil (if using). Heat the mixture in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring well between each session, until the chocolate is completely melted and silky smooth.

          Crush the Peanuts: While the chocolate is melting, place the crushed peanuts on a plate or in a shallow dish for easy rolling once the bananas are coated.

            Final Assembly: After the bananas have hardened in the freezer, take them out and dip each one into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl. Immediately roll the chocolate-covered banana in the crushed peanuts, coating all sides to create a crunchy texture.

              Add Sea Salt (Optional): For an elegant touch, lightly sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the chocolate coating before it sets, enhancing the flavor contrast.

                Freeze Again: Return the fully coated banana pops to the parchment-lined baking sheet and place them back in the freezer. Freeze for at least another hour, or until the chocolate coating is thoroughly hardened.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Once set, enjoy these delectable and healthier treats straight from the freezer! If there are any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain freshness.
