I love this recipe because it’s so simple but tastes amazing. All I need to do is mash a banana, mix it with peanut butter, top it with crunchy peanuts, freeze it, and coat it in melted chocolate. That’s it. It’s sweet, creamy, crunchy, and chocolaty—everything I want in a snack. Plus, it’s naturally sweetened and made with real ingredients I usually already have at home.
Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
1 ripe banana
2 tablespoons peanut butter
20 g roasted peanuts (about a small handful)
60 g dark chocolate (for coating)
Directions
I mash the banana in a bowl until smooth.
I mix in the peanut butter until well combined.
On a piece of parchment paper, I shape the mixture into 2 or 3 round discs (depending on the size I want).
I sprinkle the roasted peanuts on top and gently press them in.
I freeze the discs for about 1 hour and 30 minutes until firm.
Once frozen, I dip or coat them in melted dark chocolate and let them set for a few minutes before eating.
Servings and timing
This recipe makes about 2–3 medium snack discs.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Freeze time: 1 hour 30 minutes
Total time: 1 hour 40 minutes
Variations
I sometimes use milk chocolate for a sweeter version.
I add a pinch of sea salt on top of the chocolate for that sweet-salty combo.
I mix in a bit of protein powder for an extra boost after workouts.
I top them with coconut flakes or crushed almonds for more texture.
For a vegan version, I use certified vegan peanut butter and chocolate.
Storage/Reheating
I store these in an airtight container in the freezer. When I want one, I take it out and let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before eating. They stay fresh in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
FAQs
Can I use another fruit instead of banana?
You can try, but banana works best for its creamy texture and natural sweetness. Other fruits won’t freeze or hold together the same way.
What kind of peanut butter should I use?
I use natural peanut butter made from 100% peanuts, with no added sugar or oils. It keeps the snack healthier.
Can I melt the chocolate in the microwave?
Yes! I microwave it in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
How long can I store these?
Up to 2 weeks in the freezer, stored in a sealed container. I make sure they don’t absorb other freezer smells.
Can I prep them in advance?
Definitely. I often make a batch ahead of time and keep them ready in the freezer for whenever I need a quick snack.
Conclusion
This Snickers-style snack is a smart, satisfying treat I can make in minutes. It’s healthy, delicious, and perfect when I need a sweet bite without going off track. Once I tried it, I couldn’t stop making it—it’s just that good.
This healthy twist on a classic candy bar uses banana, peanut butter, and dark chocolate for a quick, no-bake treat that’s naturally sweet and freezer-friendly.
