Slice the bananas

Slice the bananas into thick rounds. Aim for about 1/2 inch to ensure they hold together well.

Create peanut butter sandwiches

Spread peanut butter between two banana slices. This forms a delicious bite-sized sandwich.

Freeze the sandwiches

Freeze the banana sandwiches for about 30 minutes. This helps them keep their shape while being dipped in chocolate.

Melt the chocolate

Melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth. Heat in short bursts to avoid scorching.

Dip the bites

Dip each frozen peanut butter banana bite into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.

Place on a baking sheet

Place them back on a parchment-lined baking sheet. This ensures they do not stick.

Sprinkle with salt

Sprinkle with sea salt if desired. This step enhances the flavors of chocolate and peanut butter.

Freeze again

Freeze for an additional 30 minutes until the chocolate is set. This final freeze ensures a great crunch.
