Instructions
Creating Frozen Banana Bark with Chocolate & Peanut Butter is straightforward. Follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Pan: Line a baking sheet or serving tray with parchment paper, ensuring it’s large enough for the banana slices.
2. Slice the Bananas: Cut the ripe bananas into thin, even rounds for a consistent appearance and texture.
3. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
4. Spread the Peanut Butter: On the parchment-lined tray, spread a thin layer of peanut butter evenly.
5. Arrange the Banana Slices: Top the peanut butter layer with banana slices, placing them close together but not overlapping.
6. Drizzle with Chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate over the banana slices, ensuring each piece is covered.
7. Add Toppings: Sprinkle chopped nuts, shredded coconut, and sea salt over the bark.
8. Freeze: Place the tray in the freezer for 1-2 hours, or until the bark is fully set and frozen.
9. Slice and Serve: Once solid, remove from the freezer, cut into pieces, and enjoy your delicious creation!
The step-by-step process allows for versatility in preparation. Feel free to experiment with flavors, toppings, and even types of nut butter, making this a truly personalized treat.
