I am always on the lookout for fun treats that are more on the healthy side than packaged treats. I don’t want chemicals and nutrition in each bite is important to me. I’ve been seeing “magic” chocolate shell all over Pinterest and have been excited to give it a try. I love the ingredients in these frozen peanut butter banana bite recipe and always have coconut oil on hand so this recipe was a no-brainer. You just can’t go wrong with chocolate and peanut butter in my house! Ok…………enough jibber jabber. Let’s get to this recipe from Thrive Market!

Chocolate-covered frozen bananas are a summertime classic, but just because it’s back to school, doesn’t mean it’s time to say goodbye. Assemble these little mini pops for a bite-sized after-school treat. Your little kiddos can even help; making the two-ingredient “magic” chocolate shell is like the best kind of science experiment—incredible and edible.

Active Time:
- Ingredients
- 3 bananas

- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- Roasted peanuts, chopped
- Peel and slice bananas into ½-inch rounds.
- Dollop 1 scant teaspoon peanut butter onto half of the rounds.

- Let cool slightly, then dip banana sandwiches in melted chocolate.
