SIMPLE INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR THE HEALTHY FROZEN BANANA SNICKERS

You will need the following ingredients listed below to make this delicious healthy treat (the exact measurements, step-by-step instructions and full recipe are in the recipe card at the bottom of this post):

• Ripe bananas
• Creamy peanut butter – can use almond butter, cashew butter or sunflower seed butter instead if desired or have a peanut allergy.
• Crunchy peanuts – roasted peanuts work or any type of nut.
• Dark chocolate – chocolate chips or chocolate bar both work well. If dairy-free or vegan, can also use vegan chocolate chips.
• Coconut oil

HOW TO MAKE

1. Line a baking tray or plate with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Cut ends of bananas off, then cut them in half. Stick popsicle stick in the middle of bananas, then freeze for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
3. Remove from freezer and coat bananas with a layer of peanut butter. Then roll into the chopped peanuts or sprinkle over the top of the peanut butter.
4. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil until fully melted.
5. Using a spoon, coat the bananas with melted chocolate to create a chocolate shell. Put back in freezer for 10 minutes for chocolate to solidify and enjoy!

HOW TO STORE

1. Freeze Them on a Tray:After you’ve prepared and coated the banana pops, freeze them on a parchment-lined tray for at least 1-2 hours or until they are fully set. This initial freezing helps them hold their shape.

2. Store in an Airtight Container or Freezer Bag:Once the banana pops are fully set, transfer them to an airtight container or a resealable freezer bag. Ensure they are arranged in a single layer or separated by parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together.

3. Label and Date:It’s a good practice to label the container or freezer bag with the date of preparation. This helps you keep track of their freshness.

4. Keep in the Freezer:Store the container or freezer bag of Frozen Snickers Banana Pops in the freezer. Make sure your freezer maintains a consistent temperature of 0°F (-18°C) or lower to prevent freezer burn.

5. Use Within 1-2 Months:While Frozen Snickers Banana Pops can be stored for longer periods, it’s best to enjoy them within 1-2 months for optimal flavor and texture.

6. Thawing and Serving:When you’re ready to enjoy a Frozen Snickers Banana Pop, simply remove it from the freezer and let it thaw for a few minutes at room temperature. Alternatively, you can enjoy them directly from the freezer if you prefer a firmer texture.

FAQS

CAN I MAKE FROZEN BANANA POPS IN ADVANCE FOR A PARTY?

Absolutely! These pops are perfect for party prep. You can make them in advance and store them in the freezer until it’s time to serve.

HOW TO PREVENT THE CHOCOLATE FROM CRACKING WHEN BITING INTO THE HEALTHY SNACK?

To prevent the chocolate coating from cracking when you bite into the pops, make sure the banana pops are fully set and frozen before dipping them in the melted chocolate. Additionally, you can add a bit of coconut oil to the chocolate coating to help it remain smooth and pliable.

CAN I MAKE THESE WITH UNRIPE BANANAS?

It’s best to use ripe bananas for this recipe as they are sweeter and have a creamier texture. Unripe bananas may have a starchy taste and firmer texture, which might not work as well.

ARE THESE SNICKER BANANA BITES SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN?

Frozen Snickers Banana Pops can be enjoyed by children, but be mindful of the size of the popsicle sticks or skewers to prevent any choking hazards. You can also involve children in making them, which can be a fun and creative activity.

CAN I ADD OTHER TOPPINGS TO THE CHOCOLATE-COATED BANANA POPS?

Absolutely! Get creative with your toppings. Consider adding crushed cookies, sprinkles, shredded coconut, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for added flavor and texture.
