Peanut Butter Banana Bark with chopped peanuts on parchment paper

Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Bark

EatingWell.com
The key to this sweet dessert is freezing the bananas so they form the base of the bark. We use peanut butter, but you could swap in your favorite nut butter for an equally delicious treat. Be sure to have the chopped peanuts ready to go as soon as you add the chocolate layer—it hardens quickly since everything is frozen. Press the peanuts lightly to make sure they adhere to the bark.

Ingredients 

  • 2 Bananas Medium, sliced
  • ¼ cup Peanut Butter
  • cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1 Tablespoons Peanuts Chopped
  • 1 pinch Sea Salt

Equipment

  • Refrigerator
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Microwave Safe Dish
  • Microwave

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange banana slices in a single layer (they should be touching each other). Freeze for at least 1 hour.
  • Drizzle peanut butter evenly over the banana slices. Return to the freezer.
  • Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on High for 30 seconds; stir and microwave for 30 more seconds until the chips and coconut oil are mostly melted. Stir until the chocolate chips are completely melted and incorporated into the oil. Spread evenly over the banana slices. Sprinkle with peanuts and sea salt, pressing to adhere if needed. Freeze until the chocolate is set, about 15 minutes. Carefully break the bark into 24 pieces. Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 days.
