Frozen Banana Bites
Ingredients:
1 CUP NUT BUTTER
4 BANANAS SLICED INTO 1in ROUNDS
8 SQUARES OF CHOCOLATE OF CHOICE (10oz)
1 TBSP SOLID OIL (COCONUT OIL)
3 CUP TOFFEE BAKING BITS
Directions:
Cover a baking sheet with waxed paper. Spoon a thin layer of peanut butter on top of each banana slice. Insert a toothpick through the peanut butter layer into the banana. 🍌
Place banana bites into the prepared baking sheet, freeze for 30 min to overnight.
Melt chocolate and solid oil in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching. Cover another baking sheet with waxed paper.
Remove 2-4 banana bites from the freezer at a time, coat each bite with chocolate mixture, place coated banana bites on the second baking sheet sprinkle each with toffee bits.
Repeat until all bites are coated. Return banana bites to freezer until set, at least 1 hour. Allow bites to sit in room temp for about 15 min before serving.
If you're looking for a delightful frozen treat that's both simple and satisfying, these frozen banana bites offer a perfect combination of creamy, crunchy, and sweet flavors. One tip from my experience is to use well-ripened bananas as they tend to be sweeter and softer, which contrasts nicely with the crunchy toffee bits. When spreading the nut butter, a slightly thicker layer helps keep the banana together and provides a rich taste. For the chocolate coating, using a good quality chocolate you enjoy eating plain will enhance the flavor. I find that mixing the solid coconut oil with the chocolate not only makes the coating smoother but also gives it a nice sheen when set. The double boiler method is essential to avoid burning the chocolate and ensures even melting. When coating the banana bites, working in small batches keeps the chocolate from hardening too quickly, allowing each piece to be evenly covered. After freezing the coated bites, letting them thaw at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving makes them easier to bite into without melting too fast. These frozen banana bites also make a great customizable snack—swap out peanut butter for almond or cashew butter if preferred, or try different toppings like crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or sprinkles for variety. They’re perfect for summer snacks, parties, or as a quick dessert to satisfy your sweet tooth without feeling too heavy.
