Chocolate Covered Banana Bites

Combining a few of my favorite things in one AND it’s only 4 ingredients. Does it get any better!? Chocolate Covered Banana Bites make for an easy sweet to have in the freezer when you want a little something! Which is usually most nights 🙂 These are a treat that I’m sure the whole family would love and would make for a great treat to make along with the kiddos. While these chocolate covered banana bites can be completely covered in chocolate, there are also many ways to switch these up which I will share more of below.

Chocolate Covered Banana Bites

What you need to make Chocolate Covered Banana Bites:

• Banana (I prefer these to not be too ripe!)
• Peanut butter (or any nut butter of your choice!)
• Chocolate (dark, milk chocolate or semi sweet would work!)
• Depending on if you’re switching them up you can add: shredded coconut, fresh raspberry chia jam, sea salt, sprinkles, etc.

Can I use any nut butter?

Yes! Any nut butter would work here as long as it isn’t a super runny nut butter.

How long will these last in the freezer?

You can store these for the week in the freezer. I’d recommend storing in a Tupperware container. I like this variety!

Different ways to switch up Chocolate Covered Banana Bites:

1. You can dip the banana fully in chocolate or just do half of the peanut butter banana.
2. Try drizzling the chocolate on top instead of dipping!
3. Add in a homemade chia jam to give more of a PB & J feel 🙂
4. Use sprinkles to make it festive for any holiday!
5. Add shredded coconut, sea salt or even hemp seeds sprinkled on top for a boost of protein.

How to make Chocolate Covered Banana Bites:

• Begin by slicing banana coins (not too thin or thick)
• Sandwich two banana coins with a little nut butter. Make sure to place the bananas on parchment paper so they don’t stick!
• Place in a freezer for 2+ hrs. Key to make sure they are pretty frozen before dipping in chocolate!
• Melt 1 cup chocolate chips. You can use dark chocolate, milk chocolate or any of your favorite chocolate bars.
• Dip each banana in chocolate to fully coat or you can dip half the banana in chocolate.
• Top with a little sea salt, sprinkles or any topping of your choice.
