How to Make Frozen Chocolate Banana Bites

The hardest part of making these frosty banana bites is waiting for them to freeze, otherwise, it’s a cinch; here’s what you’ll need to do: 

  1. Prep
    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and slice the bananas into ½-inch thick rounds. 
  2. Make mini sandwiches
    Spread some peanut butter onto one banana slice and top with another slice. Place the mini sandwiches on the lined baking sheet and freeze. 
  3. Freeze and melt
    Melt the chocolate pieces or chips on the stove-top or microwave. Remove from heat and carefully dip the banana slices into the melted chocolate. 
  4. Freeze and eat
    Place the banana bites back onto the baking sheet and freeze until the chocolate is solid.

    These look really yummy and easy to make. Thanks for sharing. Just 1 question, how long should the bananas be in the freezer before you dip them in the chocolate?

      It depends; just until the bananas are pretty solid. We usually wait about an hour!

      Tanja, I’d say they could hold up to 3 months in the freezer if you place them in a freezer safe bag or container after they are frozen! Ours never last that long though ;)

    We made these yesterday in preparation for our family labor day cookout. I couldn’t get the kids to stop asking for more! We dipped some in shredded coconut and some in chopped almonds as well. Very yummy!! The kids lost interest in the dipping process after about five pops but that was just fine with me ;) Less chocolate getting flung all over my kitchen.

      So glad you enjoyed them Amy! Great idea to put some shredded coconut and chopped almonds! My daughter looses interest after the first few too– but I agree with you– less to clean up! :)
