Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

1 cup dark chocolate chips (dairy-free if required)

1 tablespoon coconut oil

1/4 cup crunchy peanut butter (or substitute with almond butter for a delightful twist)

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

2 tablespoons chopped nuts (such as walnuts or almonds, optional)

1 tablespoon shredded coconut (optional for a tropical flair)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Begin by peeling the ripe bananas and slicing them into rounds approximately 1/2-inch thick. Arrange the banana slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking.

    Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, mix the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave this mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

      Incorporate Peanut Butter: Once melted, remove the bowl from the microwave and stir in the crunchy peanut butter, blending until the mixture is silky and well combined. If the consistency is too thick, gently add a bit more coconut oil until you achieve your desired texture.

        Coat the Banana Slices: Using a fork or toothpick, dip each banana slice into the chocolate-peanut butter mixture, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before returning them to the baking sheet to keep them neat.

          Add Toppings: While the chocolate coating is still warm and wet, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over each banana bite for a flavor boost. If you're using them, sprinkle on the chopped nuts and shredded coconut to add an extra layer of texture and taste.

            Freeze: Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and allow the bites to freeze for at least 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate is firm and set.

              Serve: Once fully frozen, you have the option to serve the banana bites immediately or transfer them to an airtight container for later enjoyment. These delightful frozen treats are especially refreshing on warm days!
