Description
A delightful and nutritious treat that combines the flavors of a classic candy bar with a healthier twist using bananas, peanut butter, and dark chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe Bananas
- 1/2 cup Peanut Butter
- 1/2 cup Dark Chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 1/4 cup Chopped Nuts (e.g., peanuts, walnuts, or almonds)
- Pinch of Sea Salt
Instructions
- Peel the bananas and slice them into thick rounds, about 1 inch in thickness.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter with a touch of sea salt if desired. Spread about a teaspoon of this mixture on one banana slice, then top it with another slice to make a sandwich. Repeat until all banana slices are used.
- Place the banana sandwiches on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced apart. Freeze for 30-60 minutes until firm.
- While the banana sandwiches are freezing, melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each banana sandwich into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated, then return them to the baking sheet.
- Sprinkle chopped nuts over the chocolate-coated bananas while the chocolate is still warm.
- Return the bananas to the freezer for at least another hour until the chocolate is firm.
- Once set, serve the Frozen Banana Snickers straight from the freezer.
Notes
Ensure bananas are ripe for the best flavor. Adjust freezing time based on your desired firmness.
