Peanut-Butter Banana Chocolate Bark

The key to this sweet dessert is freezing the bananas so they form the base of the bark. We use peanut butter, but you could swap in your favorite nut butter for an equally delicious treat. Be sure to have the chopped peanuts ready to go as soon as you add the chocolate layer—it hardens quickly since everything is frozen. Press the peanuts lightly to make sure they adhere to the bark.

Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on High for 30 seconds; stir and microwave for 30 more seconds until the chips and coconut oil are mostly melted. Stir until the chocolate chips are completely melted and incorporated into the oil. Spread evenly over the banana slices. Sprinkle with peanuts and sea salt, pressing to adhere if needed. Freeze until the chocolate is set, about 15 minutes. Carefully break the bark into 24 pieces. Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 days.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
