Frozen Banana Snickers

Share your love

We were on one of those lazy summer trips, you know the kind, where nobody really knows what day it is, and the fridge is somehow always half empty and full at the same time, and honestly, I was just trying to keep three kids happy without losing my mind

It’s funny, isn’t it, how food always shows up in the middle of chaos, like somehow, between beach towels, sandy shoes, and “I’m hungry again” every five minutes, something sweet becomes the whole mood of the day

That day, we had bananas sitting on the counter going a little too soft, and I remember thinking okay this is either trash or magic waiting to happen

The first time I made these Frozen Banana Snickers, I totally messed it up, chocolate everywhere, sticky hands, peanuts rolling off the counter, typical me, honestly

Have you ever tried making something simple, and it still turns into a mini disaster before it becomes amazing

I almost gave up, but then the kids came running back from outside asking for something cold and sweet, and I thought why not try again

So I smashed bananas with peanut butter, froze them, dipped them in chocolate, and suddenly it wasn’t just a snack anymore, it felt like a tiny win in a messy holiday kitchen

And when I took that first bite, I was actually shocked, like, wait, this tastes like a real candy bar, how is this even happening

🛒 Ingredients:

  • 🍌 2–3 ripe bananas

  • 🥜 1/2 cup peanut butter

  • 🍫 1 cup chocolate chips

  • 🥥 1 tablespoon coconut oil

  • 🥜 1/3 cup chopped peanuts

  • 🧂 Pinch of salt (optional)

Directions

  • Making Frozen Banana Snickers is super easy and fun, even for kids. Just follow these simple steps:
  • First, peel the bananas and slice them into thick, round pieces. Try to keep them about the same size so they freeze evenly. Lay the banana slices on a tray lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are not touching each other.
  • Next, take a small spoon and add a tiny bit of peanut butter on top of half the banana slices. Then place another banana slice on top to create a little “banana sandwich.” Press gently so they stick together. This is the creamy filling that makes it taste like a Snickers bar.
  • After that, put the tray in the freezer for about 1 to 2 hours. You want the banana sandwiches to be firm and cold so they don’t fall apart when you dip them in chocolate.
  • While the bananas are freezing, melt your chocolate. In a microwave-safe bowl, mix chocolate chips with coconut oil. Heat it in short bursts of 20–30 seconds, stirring in between until smooth and shiny. Be careful—don’t overheat it or it will burn.
  • Once the banana sandwiches are frozen and firm, take them out of the freezer. Dip each one into the melted chocolate using a fork or spoon. Let the extra chocolate drip off before placing them back on the tray.
  • Quickly sprinkle chopped peanuts on top before the chocolate hardens. You can also add a tiny pinch of salt for a sweet-salty flavor.
  • Finally, place the tray back into the freezer for another 20–30 minutes so everything sets completely. After that, your Frozen Banana Snickers are ready to eat!
