Is there a better flavor combination than peanut butter and chocolate?

I didn’t think so!

These frozen treats are so easy to make and absolutely delicious.

You have a crunch factor from the peanuts and frozen chocolate which pairs perfectly with the creamy peanut butter and frozen banana.

This recipe is a healthy version of a snickers candy bar.

Using simple and clean ingredients, it is not only delicious but good for you too!

Being a frozen treat, it is especially perfect to make as the weather gets warmer in the spring and summer seasons.

Main Ingredients

Sliced bananas on a cutting board.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to use peanut butter?

Nope! You can use any nut or seed butter that you’d like or have on hand.

How long can they stay out of the freezer before melting?

I would say about 5-10 minutes depending on how long they’ve been in the freezer.

I suggest taking out how many you want to eat at a time and putting the tray/container back into the freezer so they don’t melt.

Can I store them in the fridge?

I do not recommend keeping in the fridge as the banana will become brown much quicker than when stored in the freezer.

After the initial freeze, store flat in a sealed container that is freezer safe. You can store these for up to 1 month!
