Notes

• Use spotty, ripe bananas for extra sweetness and best texture.
• Try crunchy peanut butter for a bit more bite.
• If you don’t have coconut oil, substitute with vegetable shortening to smooth out the chocolate.

Variations

• Swap almond butter for peanut butter for a different nutty twist.
• Use dairy-free chocolate chips for a vegan version.
• Top with shredded coconut or mini chocolate chips instead of peanuts for extra flavor.

Required Equipment

• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper
• Microwave-safe bowl
• Fork
• Sharp knife

Storage Instructions

• Store frozen banana Snickers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

FAQ

Can I make these nut-free?

Yes, simply use sunflower seed butter and seed-based toppings instead of nuts for an allergy-friendly version.

Do I have to use coconut oil in the chocolate?

No, but coconut oil helps the chocolate set with a glossy finish. Substitute vegetable shortening or omit for a thicker shell.

How do I prevent the bananas from turning brown?

Freezing the bananas quickly after slicing helps maintain their color, and the chocolate coating helps seal them from air.
