Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 2 medium semi-ripe bananas

Spreads

  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons drippy, creamy peanut butter

Chocolate

  • 1.5 cups dark chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)

Seasoning

  • Flaky sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the baking sheet: Line a medium-sized baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make it easy to remove the bark after freezing.
  2. Slice the bananas: Peel and slice the semi-ripe bananas into approximately 1/3-inch thick slices on a slight angle to help them fit together neatly in a rectangular shape.
  3. Arrange banana slices: Lay the banana slices on the lined baking sheet in a rectangular shape, ensuring that slices are touching to help them stick together when frozen.
  4. Spread peanut butter: Evenly spread the drippy peanut butter over the arranged banana slices to cover completely. If peanut butter is too thick, warm it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to soften, then spread smoothly. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 20 minutes to set.
  5. Melt the chocolate: After the peanut butter layer is set, melt the dark chocolate chips and optional coconut oil in a microwave-safe dish using 30-second intervals, stirring between each until mostly smooth and fully melted. Be careful not to burn the chocolate.
  6. Spread the chocolate layer: Remove the banana-peanut butter bark from the freezer, pour the melted chocolate over the top, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle flaky sea salt if desired and add any additional toppings at this stage.
  7. Freeze to set: Return the bark to the freezer for at least 90 minutes, up to 2 hours, until the chocolate is completely firm.
  8. Serve: Once fully set, remove the bark from the freezer, flip it over, peel off the parchment paper, then break the bark into large pieces. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use semi-ripe bananas for optimal sweetness and texture.
  • If peanut butter is too thick to spread, warming slightly will help.
  • Optional coconut oil helps create a smoother chocolate coating but can be omitted.
  • Flaky sea salt enhances the flavor by adding a salty contrast to the sweet bark.
  • Store leftover bark in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.
  • This treat is best eaten frozen to maintain texture and firmness.
