Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (substitute with almond butter for a delicious twist)

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate

1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, to achieve smoother chocolate)

A pinch of sea salt (for sprinkling, optional)

Chopped nuts or granola (for rolling, optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Bananas: Start by peeling the ripe bananas. Slice them into 1-inch thick rounds and arrange the slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring there is space between each piece to prevent sticking.

    Create the Peanut Butter Layer: Using a small spoon or a piping bag, dollop a generous amount of peanut butter onto half of the banana slices. Place the remaining banana slices on top to form little sandwiches.

      Freeze the Sandwiches: Carefully place the baking sheet with the assembled banana sandwiches in the freezer. Let them freeze for approximately 30 to 60 minutes, or until they are firm to the touch.

        Melt the Chocolate: While the banana sandwiches are setting, prepare the chocolate dipping mixture. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Heat in intervals of 20-30 seconds, stirring between each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

          Dip the Bites: Once the banana sandwiches are firm, remove them from the freezer. Quickly dip each sandwich into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated.

            Add Toppings: For an added burst of flavor and texture, sprinkle a touch of sea salt on top or roll the chocolate-covered bites in chopped nuts or granola while the chocolate is still soft.

              Final Freeze: Return the chocolate-dipped banana bites to the previously prepared parchment-lined baking sheet. Put them back in the freezer and allow them to freeze for an additional 1 to 2 hours, until the chocolate has completely set and the bites are frozen solid.

                Serve and Enjoy: Once fully frozen, these delightful peanut butter banana bites are ready to be enjoyed straight from the freezer! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month (if they last that long!).
