Ingredients
  

2 large ripe bananas

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (feel free to substitute with almond butter for a unique flavor twist)

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional, for a delicious chocolate drizzle)

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or almonds, optional)

Pinch of sea salt

Toothpicks or small skewers (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Start by peeling the ripe bananas and slicing them into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Try to keep your slices uniform to ensure even freezing later on.

    Spread the Peanut Butter: On half of the banana slices, use a knife to spread about 1 teaspoon of creamy peanut butter. For an extra hint of flavor, sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt over the peanut butter.

      Assemble the Sandwiches: Take another banana round and gently press it on top of each peanut butter spread to create a banana-peanut butter sandwich. Make sure to press them lightly to seal the layers together.

        Add Optional Toppings: If you desire an extra crunch, roll the edges of each banana sandwich in shredded coconut and chopped nuts. This step not only enhances the flavor but also adds an appealing look!

          Prep for Freezing: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal later. Arrange the banana sandwiches in a single layer on the sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart and not touching.

            Melt the Chocolate (if using): In a microwave-safe bowl, place the dark chocolate chips. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

              Drizzle the Chocolate: Using a fork or a small spoon, drizzle the melted chocolate over the assembled banana sandwiches, creating a luscious coating for extra indulgence.

                Freeze: Carefully place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the bites to freeze for about 1-2 hours, or until they are completely firm.

                  Serve: Once frozen, take the banana bites out from the parchment paper. If you wish, insert toothpicks into each one for quick and easy snacking. Enjoy these delightful bites as a refreshing snack or a decadent dessert!
