Amazing Frozen Banana Snickers Recipe

Introduction

Enjoy a cool and delicious treat with these Amazing Frozen Banana Snickers. Combining creamy peanut butter, sweet bananas, crunchy peanuts, and rich chocolate, this dessert is perfect for a refreshing snack or a healthy indulgence.

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup peanut butter (or PB2 powder mixed with water)
• 3 large bananas
• ¼ cup peanuts (chopped)
• ½ cup chocolate chips (melted with 2 tsp coconut oil)
• Optional: sugar free or regular caramel for drizzle

Instructions

1. Step 1: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: Peel the bananas. Cut each banana in half, then slice each half vertically. Arrange the banana slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
3. Step 3: Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 15-second intervals until smooth.
4. Step 4: Spread about 1 tablespoon of peanut butter on top of each banana slice. If using, drizzle caramel over the peanut butter. Sprinkle crushed peanuts on top, then drizzle with the melted chocolate.
5. Step 5: Add a final sprinkle of crushed peanuts over the chocolate for extra crunch.
6. Step 6: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 2 hours or overnight until the banana treats are firm.

Tips & Variations

• For a lower-fat option, use PB2 peanut butter powder rehydrated with water instead of regular peanut butter.
• Try swapping peanuts for almonds or walnuts for a different flavor and texture.
• Use sugar-free caramel to reduce added sugars while keeping a sweet drizzle.
• Serve immediately after thinning for a softer bite or freeze longer for a firmer texture.

Storage

Store leftover frozen banana treats in an airtight, freezer-safe container. They will keep well for up to two weeks. To serve, allow them to thaw at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier eating.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use other types of nuts instead of peanuts?

Yes, you can substitute peanuts with other chopped nuts like almonds, walnuts, or cashews depending on your preference or dietary needs.

Is it necessary to add coconut oil to the chocolate chips?

Adding coconut oil helps the chocolate melt smoothly and remain drizzle-able. If you prefer, you can melt the chocolate chips alone, but the texture might be slightly thicker.

Nut Topping

• ¼ cup peanuts (chopped)

Chocolate Layer

• ½ cup chocolate chips
• 2 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

1. Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the bananas from sticking and to make cleanup easier.

5. Add final nut topping: Sprinkle an additional touch of crushed peanuts on top of the melted chocolate for extra crunch and flavor.
6. Freeze: Place the assembled banana treats into the freezer for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow them to fully set. Store any leftovers in an airtight, freezer-safe container in the freezer. Before eating, allow the treats to thaw for about 5 minutes for optimal texture and flavor.

Notes

• For a lower calorie option, use PB2 powder mixed with water instead of traditional peanut butter.
• Using parchment paper helps prevent sticking and makes removal easier after freezing.
• Allow bananas to thaw slightly before eating to avoid overly hard texture.
• Optional caramel drizzle adds a sweeter, richer flavor if desired.
• These treats are best enjoyed within a week when stored properly.
