Chocolate Covered Banana Bites (Printable)

Frozen bananas dipped in rich chocolate and sprinkled with crunchy peanuts for a sweet, bite-sized snack.

# Ingredient List:

01 - 2 large ripe bananas

02 - 7 oz dark or semisweet chocolate, chopped

03 - 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)

04 - 1/4 cup roasted peanuts, finely chopped

01 - Peel bananas and slice into 1/2-inch thick rounds.

02 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place banana slices in a single layer.

03 - Freeze banana slices for at least 1 hour until firm.

04 - Combine chocolate and coconut oil (if using) in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth.

05 - Using a fork or toothpick, dip frozen banana slices into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.

06 - Place chocolate-covered slices back on parchment and immediately sprinkle with chopped peanuts before chocolate sets.

07 - Repeat dipping and topping for all slices, then freeze for 15–20 minutes until chocolate is firm.

08 - Serve frozen for best texture and flavor.

01 -

They're ready faster than you'd expect, and the contrast of cold banana with melting chocolate is genuinely addictive.
One bite tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen when really you just needed fifteen minutes and your freezer.

02 -

If your chocolate is too thick after melting, it'll coat unevenly and clump—the coconut oil really does make the difference between amateur and polished-looking.
Don't skip the first freeze; room-temperature bananas will absorb the chocolate and become mushy instead of staying that satisfying frozen bite.

03 -

Use a fork rather than a toothpick for dipping—it's steadier, and you get better chocolate coverage without the banana sliding around.
If your chocolate keeps getting too thick as you work, gently rewarm it over the water bath for ten seconds rather than making a big production out of it.
