Banana Snickers Bites
These banana snickers bites are a no-bake treat made with dates, peanut butter, banana, chocolate, and peanuts for an easy sweet-salty snack.
Equipment
- Microwave
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- 10 Medjool dates pitted and sliced lengthwise
- 5 teaspoons creamy peanut butter 1/4 teaspoon per date half
- 20 banana slices about ½-inch thick (approx 1 banana)
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 1/4 cup peanuts chopped
- Flaky sea salt for topping
Instructions
- Start by lining a plate or small baking board with parchment paper. Slice each date lengthwise, remove the pit, and gently open and flatten them so they form a sturdy base.
- Spoon about 1/4 teaspoon of peanut butter onto each date half. Place one banana slice on top of the peanut butter, pressing gently so it sticks.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir until smooth and fully melted. If needed, microwave in 15-second increments until glossy.
- Spoon the melted chocolate over each assembled date, covering the banana and peanut butter completely. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with crushed peanuts and finish with a pinch of flaky sea salt.
- Transfer the bites to the refrigerator for about 40 minutes or the freezer for 20 minutes, until the chocolate is fully set.
- Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge.
