Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 medium medium semi-ripe bananas Choose medium, semi-ripe fruit for sweetness and firmness.
  • 1/2 cup drippy, creamy peanut butter A drippy, creamy peanut butter spreads more easily.
  • 2 tablespoons drippy, creamy peanut butter
  • 1.5 cups dark chocolate chips Choose a high-quality dark chocolate chip (60–70% cocoa) for best flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil Optional to help chocolate melt and set with a glossy finish.
  • Flaky sea salt Optional, to sprinkle before the chocolate sets for extra flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by lining a medium-sized baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Peel and slice the bananas into roughly 1/3-inch-thick rounds.
  3. Arrange the banana slices in a tight rectangular shape on the lined baking sheet.
  4. Spread the peanut butter evenly over the banana surface.
  5. Place the sheet in the freezer for 20 minutes to firm the peanut butter and bananas.
Chocolate Coating
  1. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring between each burst.
  2. Remove the pan from the freezer and pour the melted chocolate over the peanut-butter-coated bananas.
  3. Spread the chocolate into an even layer and sprinkle with flaky sea salt or other toppings if desired.
  4. Return the bark to the freezer for at least 90 minutes so the chocolate is fully set.
Serving
  1. Once set, flip the frozen slab over and peel off the parchment.
  2. Break the bark into large pieces and serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container and keep frozen.

Notes

Keep the bark frozen in an airtight container layered with parchment to prevent sticking. Thaw for 5–10 minutes at room temperature before serving if you want a softer bite. Freeze for up to 2 weeks for best texture and flavor.
