Description

This Viral Chocolate Banana Bark is a simple, no-bake treat combining creamy peanut butter, ripe bananas, and rich dark chocolate. Perfect for a quick and healthy dessert, this recipe results in a deliciously sweet and salty bark that freezes to a perfect snack or dessert bite.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

  • 2 medium semi-ripe bananas

Spread

  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

Chocolate Layer

  • 1.5 cups dark chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)

Garnish

  • Flaky sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Slice the bananas: Peel and slice the bananas into 1/3-inch thick pieces for uniform layering.
  3. Arrange banana slices: Place the banana slices in a close rectangular shape on the lined baking sheet, ensuring they touch each other to form a solid base.
  4. Spread peanut butter: Evenly spread the creamy peanut butter over the banana slices. If the peanut butter is too thick, microwave it briefly for easier spreading. Then, freeze the layered bananas and peanut butter for 20 minutes to set.
  5. Melt chocolate: In a microwave-safe dish, melt the dark chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each, until smooth. Stir in coconut oil if using to give a glossy finish and smoother texture.
  6. Top with chocolate and salt: Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the peanut butter-coated bananas. Optionally, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top to enhance the flavors.
  7. Freeze to set: Freeze the chocolate banana bark for at least 90 minutes to allow it to fully set and harden.
  8. Serve: Once completely firm, break the bark into pieces and enjoy immediately or store in the freezer for later snacking.

Notes

  • Use semi-ripe bananas for the best balance of sweetness and firmness.
  • Microwaving peanut butter slightly improves spreadability without compromising texture.
  • Adding coconut oil to the melted chocolate helps with smoother pouring and better snap once set.
  • Flaky sea salt is optional but recommended to add a lovely salty contrast to the sweetness.
  • Store leftover bark in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain freshness.
