Frozen peanut butter and chocolate banana bites
In about 10 minutes, these peanut butter and chocolate banana bites are prepped and ready to chill in the freezer.
Prep for peanut butter and chocolate banana bites couldn’t be easier. You can sandwich the bananas with other pantry ingredients beyond peanut butter, like Nutella, jelly, or honey. Once frozen, each banana bite tastes like a spoonful of ice cream.
The easy way to make banana bites with melted chocolate is to create a double boiler on the stove. To do this, fill a pot of water about 1-2 inches with water and bring it to a boil. Place a glass bowl on top of the pot, making sure the bottom doesn’t touch the water. Add chocolate chips to the bowl along with coconut oil (or milk). Combine until chocolate is melted. Then you’re ready to dunk the banana bites!

Instructions
- To prepare the double boiler, bring 1-2" of water to a boil in a pot.
