Peanut Butter Chocolate Banana Bark is a delightful treat that combines the rich flavors of chocolate and peanut butter with the natural sweetness of bananas. This no-bake dessert is not only easy to prepare but also packs a punch of energy, making it an ideal snack for any time of the day.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups dark chocolate chips (preferably 70% cocoa)
1 cup creamy peanut butter (natural is best)
2 ripe bananas, sliced
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (pure)
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Drizzle of honey or maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.
Stir in the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract into the melted chocolate until fully incorporated.
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Pour half of the chocolate-peanut butter mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Lay the sliced bananas over the mixture in a single layer.
Pour the remaining chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the bananas, ensuring they are completely covered.
If using, sprinkle your chopped nuts and mini chocolate chips evenly over the top. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup.
Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the bark is firm and set.
Once set, use the parchment overhang to lift the bark out of the pan. Cut into squares or triangles.
