Peel and Slice

Peel the bananas and slice into thick coins, about 1/2 inch each (you should get 16-20 coins).

Arrange and Freeze

Arrange banana slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure they do not touch. Freeze banana slices for 15-20 minutes, until firm but not rock hard.

Spread Peanut Butter

Sprinkle Toppings

Sprinkle each with chopped peanuts and a pinch of sea salt (if using). Add optional toppings if desired.

Melt Chocolate

Drizzle or Dip

Drizzle melted chocolate over each banana bite, or dip the tops for a thicker coating.

Final Freeze

Return tray to the freezer for 30-60 minutes, until chocolate is set and bananas are frozen solid.
