Ingredients
  

2 large ripe bananas, peeled and sliced into 1-inch thick rounds

1 cup creamy peanut butter (or opt for almond butter for a delicious twist)

1 cup dark chocolate chips (or milk chocolate if you prefer a sweeter flavor)

1 tablespoon coconut oil

1/2 cup chopped roasted peanuts (unsalted for a more balanced flavor)

Sea salt for optional sprinkling

Instructions
 

Prep the Bananas: Begin by peeling the ripe bananas and slicing them into 1-inch thick rounds. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the banana slices in a single layer. This helps keep them from sticking together.

    Add Peanut Butter: Take a small spoon or a piping bag and place about 1 teaspoon of peanut butter on top of half of the banana slices. Gently press the remaining banana slices on top to create little banana sandwiches.

      Freeze: Transfer the baking sheet with the banana sandwiches to the freezer. Let them freeze for at least 30 minutes, or until they become solid and firm.

        Prepare Chocolate Coating: While the banana sandwiches are freezing, 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, until it is completely smooth and fully melted.

          Coat the Banana Bites: Once the banana sandwiches are firm, remove them from the freezer. Dip each sandwich into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off, ensuring a nice even layer.

            Add Peanuts: Immediately after dipping in chocolate, sprinkle the chopped roasted peanuts on top of each bite before the chocolate sets. For an extra touch, you can also add a tiny sprinkle of sea salt to bring out the flavors.

              Final Freeze: Carefully return the chocolate-covered banana bites to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Place them back in the freezer and freeze for at least 1 hour or until the chocolate coating is firm and completely set.

                Serve: Once thoroughly frozen, remove the Snickers bites from the freezer. You can serve them immediately for a delightful treat or store them in an airtight container for later enjoyment. Relish your deliciously healthy snack!
