These chocolate covered banana bites are like little ice cream bites. The perfect healthy dessert or midnight snack for when the sweet tooth hits.

Ingredients

  • 1 banana
  • 3.5 oz dark chocolate
  • 4.5-9 tsp unsweetened nut butter (hazelnut butter is my favorite)
  • 1/2 tsp flaky sea salt

Directions

  1. 1

    Cut the banana into about 9 equal pieces and lay them out in one layer on a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Add a dollop (1/2 to 1 tsp) of nut butter of your choice to each banana slice, then place the baking sheet into the freezer for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    In the meantime, melt the dark chocolate either in the microwave or a water bath until smooth and glossy. Do not overheat or it'll curdle.

  4. 4

    Use two forks to add the banana pieces into the melted chocolate and cover them, then let the excess drip into the bowl. (You might have to re-melt the chocolate after 3-4 pieces of cold banana hit it).

  5. 5

    Place the chocolate covered banana bites back on the same baking sheet, sprinkle with flakey sea salt, and put back in the freezer for a few minutes or until the chocolate hardens.
