• Peel and slice your bananas into ¼ to ½ inch rounds. You should get 10–12 slices per banana.

• Lay them flat on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for at least 1 hour, or until firm.

• Melt your chocolate chips (with optional 1 tsp coconut oil) in 30-second bursts in the microwave, stirring in between.

🍦 Make It Your Way (Variations)

Peanut butter Almond, cashew, or sunflower seed butter

Chocolate chips White chocolate Carob chips, or sugar-free chocolate

Banana allergy Try strawberries or sliced apples (freeze with care!)

Fun for kids Add sprinkles or crushed cereal before chocolate hardens

🧊 Storage Tips

• Fridge: Not recommended—they get mushy fast
• Freezer: Store in a sealed container or zip-top bag for up to 1 month
• Pro tip: Separate layers with parchment so they don’t stick

🤷‍♀️Are They Really Kid-Approved

Let me put it this way: I gave my 5-year-old one of these and they thought I bought them from a store.

The 3-year-old licked the chocolate off first and asked for “just the peanut part.” And my husband ate six and asked if I “had time to make another tray.”Safe to say: YES.
