Description

These Banana Peanut Butter Chocolate Bites are a delicious and easy-to-make treat combining ripe bananas with rich dark chocolate and creamy peanut butter. Perfect for a quick snack or dessert, these bites offer a delightful balance of sweetness and flavor with an optional sprinkle of sea salt for extra depth.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3 medium-sized ripe bananas, peeled and sliced into rounds (approximately 1/2 inch thick)
  • 1 cup chopped dark chocolate (or substitute chocolate chips)
  • 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter (with no added sugar or salt)
  • Optional: sea salt for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare Bananas: Peel and slice 3 medium-sized ripe bananas into approximately 1/2 inch thick rounds, setting them aside on a clean plate.
  2. Melt Chocolate: Place 1 cup chopped dark chocolate in a pot over low heat on the stove. Stir constantly to prevent burning and allow the chocolate to melt gently.
  3. Remove from Heat: Once the chocolate is fully melted, immediately remove the pot from the stove to avoid overcooking.
  4. Add Peanut Butter: Stir 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter into the melted chocolate until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  5. Transfer Mixture: Pour the peanut butter and chocolate mixture into a bowl for easy dipping.
  6. Coat Bananas: Add one banana slice at a time to the bowl and gently stir to coat it thoroughly in the chocolate-peanut butter mixture.
  7. Place on Tray: Use a fork to lift each coated banana slice out of the bowl and place it on a sheet pan or plate lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  8. Add Toppings: Immediately sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on top of each coated banana slice if desired, enhancing the flavor with a subtle salty contrast.
  9. Repeat: Continue coating, placing, and topping all remaining banana slices until all are covered.
  10. Chill and Set: Place the sheet pan or plate in the refrigerator for at least one hour to allow the chocolate to harden and the bites to set before serving.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and best flavor.
  • For a vegan version, ensure the chocolate and peanut butter are vegan-friendly.
  • You can substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter if preferred.
  • To speed up chilling, you can place the tray in the freezer for 30 minutes.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
