Description

A delicious frozen treat made from bananas, peanut butter, chocolate, and peanuts.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Start by peeling your bananas and slicing them in half lengthwise. Then cut each half into smaller, snack-sized pieces. I always find this step a little calming—there’s something about preparing simple ingredients that sets the tone for a relaxed cooking experience.
  2. Spread a layer of peanut butter onto one banana slice, then gently press another slice on top to create a sandwich. This is where the magic starts to happen—the creamy peanut butter paired with the soft banana already feels like a treat on its own.
  3. Sprinkle chopped peanuts over the peanut butter layer for that classic crunch. Place each assembled piece on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for about 1–2 hours, until firm. This step is essential for getting that signature Frozen Banana Snickers texture.
  4. Once frozen, melt the dark chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth. Dip each banana piece into the melted chocolate, coating it evenly. Let the excess drip off before placing it back on the tray.
  5. Return the coated pieces to the freezer for another 15–20 minutes, or until the chocolate shell is set. When you bite into one, you’ll get that satisfying snap of chocolate followed by creamy, nutty sweetness.
