Snickers Frozen Chocolate Banana Bites

I love making easy, healthy snacks and when summer comes, I usually make frozen treats for the times you need to cool down, like my Frozen Yogurt Bark, Coconut Popsicles, or Ice Cream Bites. Frozen Banana Snickers are healthy bite-sized frozen desserts made of yellow banana slices, dipped into melted chocolate, and sometimes filled with peanut butter, peanuts, or date caramel. They taste like sweet frozen treats, without the added sugar or additives of store-bought banana frozen desserts.

Ingredients and Substitutions

You only need 5 simple, wholesome ingredients to make these banana snickers.

Banana – The best are yellow bananas. Ripe bananas work as well, but they can be mushy, and the banana bites won’t hold as well. Dark Chocolate Chips – I like chocolate chips with more than 70% cocoa. Melted Coconut Oil – Coconut oil is solid at room temperature and melts over 74°F (23°C). Peanuts – Crushed or whole. Spread of choice – can be peanut butter or my 2-ingredient date caramel spread recipe to make banana snickers bites.

How To Make Frozen Banana Snickers Bites

Chocolate Shell

Now that the bananas are hard enough, prepare the chocolate dip.

Taste And Texture

To serve these banana bites, remove them from the freezer for 10 to 12 minutes before serving. This gives the banana flesh some time to soften and provides a melt-in-your-mouth ice cream-like texture. These are soft frozen banana bites covered with a crunchy dark chocolate shell and filled with roasted peanuts and a sweet sticky date caramel in the center. They taste like frozen snickers with a delicious banana flavor.

Storage Instructions

These frozen banana bites can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months in a sealed airtight container. Pop them out of the freezer 10 minutes before serving to soften the caramel filling.

Spread Flavors

What I like the most about this easy frozen banana dessert is that there are many alternatives to create a range of flavorsome frozen chocolate banana bites. You can use one of the spreads below to create a range of flavors and also decrease saturated fat,

Peanut butter – delicious and easy, but higher in saturated fat. Almond butter – the best swap for peanut butter to decrease saturated fat. Sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option. Date caramel paste – my favorite option, combined with peanuts, the frozen banana bites taste like a healthy version of frozen snickers. Baby jam

Crunchy toppings can also be various and different pick one or two of these to add on top of your spread:

Crunchy roasted peanuts – whole or crushed. Almond slices Desiccated coconut Sea salt
