Healthy Frozen “Snickers

Ingredients:

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 2 oz dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher), chopped
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (such as peanuts or almonds)
  • Optional: honey or maple syrup for drizzling (if desired)

Instructions:

  1. Peel the bananas and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Place the banana pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate and freeze for about 1 hour, or until firm.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and creamy peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  3. Remove the frozen banana pieces from the freezer. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each banana piece into the melted chocolate-peanut butter mixture, coating it evenly. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
  4. Place the chocolate-coated banana pieces back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. Sprinkle chopped nuts over the top of each banana piece while the chocolate is still soft.
  5. Optional: Drizzle honey or maple syrup over the top of the chocolate-coated banana pieces for added sweetness, if desired.
  6. Return the baking sheet or plate to the freezer and freeze the banana Snickers for an additional 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate is set and the bananas are completely frozen.
  7. Once frozen, remove the banana Snickers from the freezer and transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag for storage.
  8. Serve the frozen banana Snickers straight from the freezer as a delicious and satisfying treat!
