How to Make Chocolate Covered Banana Bites
1. Slice the Bananas
Line a small freezer-safe tray with parchment paper. Slice the bananas into approximately 1/2-inch rounds.
2. Make the Banana Sandwiches
Spread a small amount of peanut butter onto half of the banana slices. Top each one with another banana slice to create small banana-and-peanut-butter sandwiches.
Place them in the freezer for 20–30 minutes, until firm.
3. Melt the Chocolate
Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl using short intervals, stirring between each one until smooth.
You can also melt the chocolate gently over barely simmering water.
4. Dip the Banana Bites
Remove the frozen banana bites from the freezer and dip each one into the melted chocolate.
Coat as much of each bite as you prefer, then place them back onto the parchment-lined tray.
5. Freeze Until Set
Return the chocolate-covered banana bites to the freezer for another 15–20 minutes, or until the chocolate shell has completely hardened.
Transfer them to a covered container and keep frozen until ready to serve.
Tips for the Best Banana Bites
Keep the banana bites cold: Freezing the peanut butter-filled banana sandwiches before dipping helps the chocolate set quickly.
Use a fork for dipping: A fork makes it easier to lift each bite from the chocolate while allowing excess chocolate to drip away.
Try crunchy peanut butter: Crunchy peanut butter adds extra texture while keeping the recipe at three ingredients.
Store properly: Place parchment paper between layers when storing the bites so they don’t stick together.
How to Serve
Serve these chocolate covered banana bites directly from the freezer, or let them sit at room temperature for a minute or two so the banana and peanut butter centers soften slightly.
They’re delicious alongside:
- Iced coffee
- Cold milk
- Fresh strawberries
- Grapes
- Other simple freezer desserts
For parties, arrange them on a chilled serving tray or place each bite in a mini cupcake liner for easy grabbing.
How to Store
Keep the finished banana bites in a covered freezer-safe container. Place parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
According to the provided recipe, they keep well in the freezer for about 2 weeks.
