Ingredients
  

4 ripe bananas

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup dark chocolate chips

1 tablespoon coconut oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Optional toppings: chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or crushed graham crackers

Instructions
 

Prep the Bananas: Start by peeling the ripe bananas. Once peeled, cut each banana in half. Carefully insert a popsicle stick into the base of each banana half for easy handling when eating.

    Make the Peanut Butter Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, add the creamy peanut butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Use a spatula or a whisk to mix the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.

      Coat the Bananas: Take each banana half and dip it into the peanut butter mixture. Make sure they are generously coated; this will ensure a rich flavor. After coating, gently shake off any excess peanut butter before placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet to avoid sticking.

        Freeze the Bananas: Carefully transfer the baking sheet with the coated banana halves to the freezer. Let them freeze for about 1 hour, allowing the peanut butter to firm up.

          Prepare the Chocolate Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Be cautious not to overheat to avoid burning.

            Coat the Frozen Banana Pops: After the bananas have firmed up, take them out of the freezer. Dip each peanut butter-coated banana half into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are evenly coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before proceeding.

              Add Toppings (Optional): While the melted chocolate is still wet, sprinkle your preferred toppings onto the chocolate-coated bananas. Options include chopped nuts for crunch, shredded coconut for a tropical twist, or crushed graham crackers for a s'mores-inspired flavor.

                Final Freeze: Place the chocolate-coated bananas back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Return them to the freezer for an additional 30 minutes to let the chocolate set perfectly.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate is fully hardened, your delicious Choco-Banana Bliss Pops are ready to be savored! Serve them directly from the freezer for a delightful treat.
