No bake Peanut butter banana dark chocolate bites
The no bake peanut butter banana dark chocolate bites are to die for. I have made this several occasions and it is always a hit. These are gluten free and vegan.
As promised, here is the other sweet treat that saved us while on vacation. No bake Peanut butter banana dark chocolate bites.
Still to come, one more favorite though, so stay tuned because you really do not want to miss that one :-). I think that one was my family’s favorite!!
Hardly any prep time here, as you can see, and for sure no especial skills needed to put this together!!
This time around I used a peanut butter that I did not like too much, as it was a bit runny and the bananas wouldn’t stay on top of it that good. The peanut butter that worked the best was the organic one from Trader Joe’s.
Choose a peanut butter that doesn’t have too much oil and for sure one that doesn’t have hydrogenated oils, trans fats!!
I was thinking that you could actually use Nutella or home made caramel instead of peanut butter in between the bananas, wouldn’t that be awesome? Just being a bit more naughty :-)
Well not much to elaborate here so I will leave you with these no bake Peanut butter banana dark chocolate bites
Enjoy!!
Here you can see the first steps of putting the bananas together, rather simple. They don’t have to be perfect. Mine actually looked quite messy :-)
On the left picture you can see the bananas right after taking them out of the freezer. Make sure you work quickly when you coat them with the melted chocolate other wise the bananas will became mushy and they will be harder to coat!
I used a couple of forks to help me coat them. No especial equipment needed :-)
After you are done coating them you can keep them in the fridge or the freezer, which ever you prefer. I like them better when kept in the freezer!!
These are awesome. The kids will love them!!
PrintNo bake Peanut butter, banana and dark chocolate bites
Yield: 18 pieces
Total Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
3 medium bananas, ripe and sliced
1/2 cup organic creamy peanut butter
1 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips, vegan if need be
Directions:
Slice bananas and place on a baking tray. Spoon about 1/2 tablespoon of peanut butter on top of each banana slice. Place another banana slice over the peanut butter and sandwich together. Freeze until firm, about 2-3 hours.
On a double boiler, melt dark chocolate chips. Place banana pieces in the melted chocolate, one by one, until covered in chocolate all around (I used a couple of forks for this step). Place the bananas back in the baking tray and let them stand until set.
This will not take long, as the bananas are frozen and this will help set the chocolate rather quickly!
Try to work quickly when coating the banana pieces though otherwise they will become mushy and harder to coat with the chocolate.
Keep banana bites in the freezer or fridge. I prefer them right out of the freezer but it is totally up to you :-) They are good. both ways.

Yum! These would be a great snack to have on hand!
Simple and great! I love a few of them now.
Wah! Bananas. I LOOOVE bananas and peanut butter. I just hate that I’m allergic to the stupid things. Love love love this! Super quick and easy and perfect for summer. :)
Texanerin,
I was thinkingg about you when I posted this :-( thinking that you wouldn’t be able to eat them, sorry!!
Just stay tuned for the next one, because that one is really good and for sure you will be able to make and eat, plus it is a very quick one to put together, quicker than this one :-)
These look great! I always get the natural peanut butter and it’s so much better than the other stuff.
i loveeeeeeeeeee truffle recipes, i was thinking of a peanut butter and banana recipe with dark chocolate as well, but my version was mashed up banana. this works just as well. brilliantly done. i hope to post my version someday – it’s on my todo list. :-) WELCOME BACK!
Looks so yummy!!!!! Keep up the great work because you have excellent ideas. ;-)
These look amazing! (and so do your pictures by the way!) I need to make some treats like these. Seriously, banana, peanut butter and chocolate. I don’t think there’s anything better :)
Tried these today. The bananas got slimy. I ended up throwing them away. I was so hoping they would have been good.
Jennifer,
That is weird. I have made these a few times and so far so good. I do keep mine in the freezer and thow them out for a few minutes before I eat them. I have never had any
problems.
Sorry they didn’t turn out good. Maybe next time :-)
Thanks for visiting my blog!!
Do you think milk chocolate would work as well?
I think it will but make sure you melted at low temperature bc it has more sugar content and it may burn easily :-) Thanks for stopping by.
These look really good. I will try them (but with almond butter)… and might try them with carob chips.
I am truly glad to see a dietician promoting a healthy lifestyle. My husband works with the elderly and disabled and we have been shocked to see what “professional dietician’s” feed these people in facilities and homes. Our vision is to someday run a group home and feed people whole, simple foods and herbs that will sustain and probably improve their quality of life.
You are very right. It is quite shocking the bad quality food patients get served at hospitals and nursing home even though dietitians are on staff. It is quite remarkable what you and your husband have in mind. I hope it can someday take place :-) Thanks for stopping by.
Sharing these tomorrow afternoon on my page!
can someone tell me what brand of chcolate i could use very new of eating this way
I use Ghirardelli 60% dark chocolate chips. Any dark chocolate will do though :-) Thanks for visiting my blog!!
Hi, these look terrific!! Just wondering whether you have any idea how long they would keep for in the freezer? Looks like I have my weekend project sorted! :) Thanks!
I think for a while. At least a couple of weeks for sure if not longer :-)
This sounds really delcious. Gonna give this recipe a go. Tjhanks for sharing.
