Ingredients

• 3 pieces Bananas
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup Peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon Coconut oil
• 0.5 cup Crushed peanuts (optional)
• 0.25 cup Sprinkles (optional)
• 6 pieces Popsicle sticks

Directions

Step 1

Peel the bananas and cut each one in half crosswise to create a total of six banana pieces.

Step 2

Insert a popsicle stick into the flat cut end of each banana piece and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes to 1 hour until firm.

Step 3

While the bananas are freezing, prepare the chocolate coating. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, soften the peanut butter by microwaving it for 10-15 seconds or until it is easy to drizzle.

Step 5

Once the bananas are frozen, remove them from the freezer. Dip each banana piece into the melted chocolate until fully coated, letting the excess drip off.

Step 6

Drizzle the softened peanut butter over the chocolate-coated bananas in a zigzag pattern using a spoon or a piping bag.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle the crushed peanuts or colorful sprinkles onto the bananas before the chocolate sets for added texture and fun.

Step 8

Return the coated bananas to the parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for an additional 10-15 minutes until the chocolate and peanut butter are set.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a frozen snack or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
