Ingredients
  

4 ripe bananas

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional for smooth melting)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, peanuts) or granola for topping

1 teaspoon sea salt (optional)

Wooden popsicle sticks or bamboo skewers

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Peel the bananas and cut them in half. Insert a wooden popsicle stick into the cut end of each banana half, creating a handle.

    Freeze the Bananas: Place the banana pops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze them for about 1 hour or until solid.

      Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until completely melted and smooth.

        Dip in Peanut Butter: Remove the banana pops from the freezer. Working quickly, spread a generous layer of peanut butter over the frozen bananas. Make sure to cover all sides for a creamy texture in every bite.

          Coat with Chocolate: While the peanut butter is still soft, dip each peanut butter-covered banana into the melted chocolate. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off back into the bowl.

            Add Toppings: Immediately sprinkle the tops with chopped nuts or granola for an added crunch. For an extra touch, you can sprinkle a light pinch of sea salt on top.

              Final Freeze: Place the coated banana pops back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours or until the chocolate is firm.

                Serve and Enjoy: Once frozen, your Choco-Peanut Delight Banana Pops are ready to be enjoyed! Serve immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for later.
