The title says it all. It’s pure happiness : a crunchy chocolate cover with a frozen banana and peanut butter core. Decadent and chilling at the same time. If you’ve been suffering from the heat wave, those Chocolate Covered Frozen Banana & Peanut Butter Bites are the perfect treat for you.
I’ve always loved frozen bananas, I think it’s the perfect snack or easy dessert. Add some peanut butter and I’m a happy woman. And if you like portion control as I do, those bites are your new best friends! But be careful, they are highly addictive, I’m warning you. You might not be able to eat just one or two (I’m guilty for that one….). The nutritional info is for two bites because I’m pretty sure you won’t eat just one. Make sure you have some kids/friends/family around.
This recipe calls for melted chocolate, so check out this article if you want to learn how to correctly melt you chocolate. Other than that, it’s super easy! To dip in chocolate, I’ve used two forks. You don’t need fancy equipment.
Make sure to choose medium ripe bananas. Unripe bananas would be tasteless and fully ripped bananas too difficult to handle.

Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe bananas, sliced
- 1/4 cup smooth salted peanut butter
- 10 oz baking dark chocolate
Directions
- Arrange half of the banana slices on a baking sheet with parchment paper, and spread peanut butter on them.
- Top with the other half of banana slices and put in the freezer for about one hour.
- Melt 2/3 of chocolate (about 6.5 oz). When still hot, add in remaining chocolate and stir until smooth and shiny (it's called tempering chocolate).
- Remove bananas from the freezer and dip them into chocolate. You have to work quickly before the sandwiches start to defrost and get mushy. Remove excess chocolate and put back on the baking sheet.
- Freeze at least 3 hours or until ready to serve.
Notes
If they're too hard to be eaten right out of the freezer, let them sit for a few minutes at room temperature.
OMG!This looks sp yummie!I really need to try this receipe!THX
Haha thanks ! Enjoy
Oh goodness, how did I not think of this?! I am so making these asap. My whole family will love them. Thanks
Thanks Melanie, I hope they will!
What a yummy snack! I can’t resist! I’ll have to make this asap!
I hope you’ll have a better self control than I do, and won’t eat everything in one day! Hahaha. But if you do, that’s ok, I won’t tell
Wow! This sounds delicious! And so simple! Why have I never thought of this before!
Thank you! It really is simple!
I love frozen banana treats, they taste amazing, and the guilt isn’t so bad either. Love the idea of the peanut banana sandwich, thanks for sharing.
Oh my word. These look AMAZING! I can’t wait to try these…yum! Thank you for posting!
Ahah thank you Jen! I hope you’ll like them as much as we did!
What is your trick to dipping them in the chocolate?
I’ve used two forks. Place one banana sandwich on a fork, and dip it into the bowl of melted chocolate. Once it’s fully covered, remove it from chocolate, but stay above the bowl. Using the second fork, remove excess chocolate and delicately transfer the bite on the baking sheet. Don’t worry if your first bites are a bit ugly, mine were too! They’ll look better after 2 or 3, once you get how it works

I`m loving this! i know i`ll love these for sure~
After dipping the first few bananas in chocolate, the others we thawing out…and getting slippery. By about the 6th or 7th “banana sandwich” the chocolate was sliding right off. :/ I have put the bananas back in the freezer and will do a few more once re-frozen, but am I missing something?
Hi Deanna, i’m sorry it didn’t work well for you. How ripe were your bananas ? Did you let the sandwiches harden long enough in the freezer ?
You have to work quickly when dipping them in chocolate, before they start to defrost and get mushy. If you want to take your time, try working with only 5 sandwiches (or even less) at a time, keeping the others in the freezer until you’re ready to deep them. Let me know if it works better this way.
Thanks, the few that worked were amazing! I’ll definitely try again!
I’m glad you still liked them. Let me know how things turn out next time!
C’est Juste DÉLICIEUX !!! Merci
Hi Marie,
I am planning on making something special for the bride for Valentine’s Day and this looks perfect, but I just want to make sure- it’s just baking chocolate, not sweetened?
Thanks
Oh that’s so sweet! I’m sure she’s gonna love those
You can use whatever chocolate she prefers, it’s totally up to you. Just make sure it melts well (check on the package for the instructions). Happy Valentine’s Day 
Hi, these look so yummy. Making some now. When all is done and they are frozen after the chocolate is added, do I continue to keep frozen?
Yes absolutely, otherwise they’d get mushy
wow, my clients are loving your recipes
Can I use use brownie mixture instead of the chocolate or will it ruin it?
I wouldn’t try with brownie mixture, I think it would turn out strange…
Is this possible to make with strawberries instead?
I had never thought of it before but why not! I’m not sure how you’ll be able to make a strawberry ‘sandwich’ but you could try stuffing them with peanut butter and then dipping them into the chocolate!
Just showed my daughter and she wants them! We usually just use chocolate but the PB adds a whole new dimension.
For dipping, I used a bamboo skewer, then used a fork to gently slide the banana off. Worked really well!
Good idea!
