How to Make It

Make this yummy frozen treat with these easy steps.

Line the baking sheet

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, choosing a size based on the thickness you prefer for the bark.

Mash the banana

In a medium bowl, mash one banana. Add in the yogurt and honey (if using) and stir until combined.

Spread the mixture

Pour the yogurt mixture onto the baking sheet and spread with a knife or spatula until you have a smooth layer.

Swirl and sprinkle

Swirl on the peanut butter and sprinkle on the mini chocolate chips. If your peanut butter is too thick, heat it in the microwave in 20-second increments until more manageable.
