Ingredients
Scale
Banana Layer
- 2 medium bananas (ripe, with brown spots)
Peanut Butter Layer
- 4 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
Chocolate Topping
- 4 to 5 tablespoons dark chocolate (melted)
- 1/4 teaspoon coconut oil (for smoothing chocolate)
Crunch and Seasoning
- 3 tablespoons chopped peanuts (for crunch)
- Sea salt (to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare Bananas: Peel the bananas and cut each banana in half lengthwise, creating eight elongated banana slices in total, which will form the base of your frozen bars.
- Apply Peanut Butter: Evenly spread a layer of creamy or chunky peanut butter over each banana slice, making sure to cover the entire surface to enhance flavor and texture.
- Add Crunch and Salt: Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt and about a tablespoon of chopped peanuts on top of each peanut butter-covered banana slice to add a savory crunch.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate pieces and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Carefully drizzle the melted chocolate over each of the prepared banana slices to create a luscious top layer resembling classic Snickers bars.
- Freeze: Place the baking sheet with the prepared banana slices into the freezer and freeze for at least one hour, allowing the chocolate to set and the bars to become firm.
- Store: After freezing, transfer the frozen banana Snickers bars to an airtight container to keep them fresh and ready for snacking.
Notes
- Ensure bananas are ripe with brown spots for maximum sweetness and flavor.
- Use coconut oil to help achieve a smooth chocolate drizzle that sets well in the freezer.
- For extra fun, experiment with crunchy peanut butter or chopped nuts variation.
- These bars are best consumed within a week when stored properly in the freezer.
- You can substitute dark chocolate with semi-sweet or milk chocolate based on preference, keeping in mind sweetness levels.
