This easy treat layers creamy peanut butter over banana slices, topped with a glossy dark chocolate shell for a delicious frozen snack that’s simple to make and perfect for hot afternoons.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 medium semi-ripe bananas Firm enough to slice without turning mushy
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter If thick, warm for 10–15 seconds
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 1.5 cups dark chocolate chips Use good-quality chocolate for best flavor
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil Optional — makes the chocolate shinier and easier to pour
- to taste flaky sea salt Optional, for finishing
Instructions
Preparation
- Line a medium-sized baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel and slice the bananas into 1/3-inch thick slices.
- Arrange the banana slices in a rectangular shape on the parchment, ensuring they touch.
- Spread the peanut butter evenly over the bananas to cover them completely.
- Place the sheet in the freezer for 20 minutes.
Chocolate Layer
- Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted.
- Remove the banana-peanut butter layer from the freezer and pour the melted chocolate evenly over the top.
- Sprinkle with flaky sea salt or other desired toppings.
- Return the bark to the freezer for at least 90 minutes, until the chocolate is fully set.
Serving
- Once set, remove from the freezer and peel away the parchment.
- Break the bark into large pieces and serve immediately.
Notes
Store in an airtight container layered with parchment between pieces. Refrigerated lasts 3–4 days; frozen best kept for up to 1 month. Let sit at room temperature 1–2 minutes before serving for softer chocolate.
