Frozen Chocolate Banana Bites!

Real quick one for you guys tonight! This summer has been a hot one and I am always craving a cold treat, which leads to a big bowl of ice cream. I found this easy recipe for a healthier option and they are super easy to make! Keep on reading to learn how to make frozen chocolate banana bites!

You will need:
2-3 Ripe Bananas
Peanut butter (or other spread of your choice)
Dark chocolate morsels


Start off by peeling and slicing your bananas into bite sized pieces. Don't slice them too thin or they will be hard to handle.



Get rid of these nasty bits!!

Then, spread a little peanut butter onto a banana slice. Just eyeball it and make a little banana/peanut butter sandwich. Place on a piece of waxed paper on a baking sheet. 



Freeze your banana sandwiches for an hour. 


After an hour passes (or more.. if you need to go run an errand or accidentally get stuck binge watching Orange is the New Black...) you will need to melt your chocolate. There are a few ways to do this, but I like to do a double boiler by placing water in a pot and melting chocolate in a glass bowl, stirring often. 


Once your chocolate is melted, take your banana/pb sandwiches and coat them in chocolate. Just drop one in, cover it in chocolate, scoop it out - trying to hake off some excess chocolate and place back on the waxed paper. This isn't rocket science and they don't need to look pretty - they will taste just as good! 

Freeze for at least 2 hours, or over night on your baking sheet. Transfer to a tupperware container and keep in the freezer to snack on! 

I hope you try these out on your own and enjoy a healthier frozen snack this summer!
