Indulging in a homemade treat can elevate your day, and nothing hits the mark quite like Peanut Butter Chocolate Banana Bark. This enticing combination of rich dark chocolate, creamy peanut butter, and sweet bananas creates a dessert that is not only delicious but also visually appealing.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup dark chocolate chips (at least 70% cocoa)
1/2 cup chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, or pecans, optional)
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
2 ripe bananas, sliced thinly
Sea salt (for sprinkling)
Optional: shredded coconut or additional chocolate drizzle
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the dark chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each until completely melted and smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Stir the creamy peanut butter into the melted chocolate until fully combined.
Gently fold in the sliced bananas, ensuring they are coated in the chocolate-peanut butter mixture.
Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, using a spatula to spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the top, followed by a light sprinkle of sea salt. Add shredded coconut or a drizzle of additional melted chocolate for decoration if desired.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until the bark is firm to the touch.
Once set, remove the bark from the fridge and break it into pieces.
