Banana Snickers
These Banana Snickers are the best way to satisfy your chocolate fix with a healthy treat that’s ready in minutes.
Ingredients
- 1-2 bananas
- creamy natural peanut butter
- chopped peanuts
- melted dark chocolate
Instructions
- Cut the banana in half, then slice each half in two and peel off the banana peel.
- Spread creamy peanut butter on top of each banana slice, top with peanuts, and drizzle with melted dark chocolate.
- Place in the fridge until the chocolate hardens, or enjoy right away! (I also topped mine with flakey salt).
Notes
-
- Ripe bananas: Make sure your bananas are ripe, not too ripe or they’ll be mushy but ripe enough so they are sweet.
-
- Thin the chocolate: If the dark chocolate isn’t pouring easily, add a touch of melted coconut oil. Use unflavored coconut oil if you don’t want your Snickers to have a slight coconut flavor.
-
- Use a food processor: I find the peanuts will stick best if they are in small chunks so throw them in the food processor for a few minutes until they are the right size. A mini chopper also works well.
-
- Line your plate with parchment: Place the prepared banana snickers on a plate or tray lined with parchment so they don’t stick.
-
- Storing: Leftovers keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 days at most.
-
- Flash freeze: To freeze the banana snickers, place them on a cookie sheet in the freezer to harden up before transferring them to a Ziploc bag or airtight container.
