Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips milk or dark chocolate
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter smooth or crunchy
- 1 ripe banana sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil for smoother melted chocolate
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate: and coconut oil in a double boiler. You can also put it in a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate with coconut oil in 20-second intervals in the microwave, stirring between each until smooth. I do recommend the double boiler method for smoothest results.
- Create the Base: Spoon a small amount of melted chocolate into the bottom of each cupcake liner, spreading it slightly to cover the base.
- Add the Filling: Place a banana slice on top of the chocolate layer, then spoon a little peanut butter over the banana.
- Top with More Chocolate: Cover the peanut butter and banana with another layer of melted chocolate, smoothing the tops and sprinkle on sea salt.
- Chill Until Set: Place the cups in the freezer for about 15 minutes or until the chocolate is firm.
- Enjoy! Once set, peel away the liner and enjoy a creamy, chocolatey bite. They will have the best texture when kept frozen - store in freezer.
