It’s nice to have treats on hand that you can pop when a sweet craving strikes. These frozen bites achieve a perfect balance between salty peanut butter, sweet bananas and smooth dark chocolate, which offers loads of antioxidants. They’re a great use for a bunch of bananas you might not get through, and you can make as many or as few as suits you!
Store the frozen bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month.

- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Spread a small amount of peanut butter onto 1 banana slice. Top with an additional banana slice making a small sandwich. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- Place onto prepared baking sheet and freeze until firm, at least 1 hour, or overnight.
- Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 10-second increments, stirring between each increment until melted and completely smooth, about 40-60 seconds.
- Dip each frozen banana bite halfway into melted chocolate and return to baking sheet.
- Sprinkle with chopped nuts before chocolate sets. Return bites to freezer for about 10 minutes, or until chocolate hardens.
