FAQs
Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate?
Yes, you can substitute milk chocolate if you prefer a sweeter taste, but dark chocolate provides a richer flavor and pairs well with the banana and nut butter.
Is it necessary to refrigerate the bites?
Refrigeration helps the chocolate to set properly and keeps the banana fresh, so it is recommended to chill them before serving.

Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 large banana, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
- 2 tablespoons nut butter (such as almond or peanut butter)
- 100 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher), melted
Instructions
- Prepare the bananas: Slice the banana into 1/4-inch thick rounds and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Add the nut butter: Spoon a small amount of nut butter onto each banana slice, spreading it evenly or leaving it as a dollop on top.
- Dip in dark chocolate: Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully dip each banana and nut butter bite into the melted dark chocolate, ensuring it is coated.
- Set and chill: Place the chocolate-covered banana bites back on the parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens.
- Serve: Once the chocolate is firm, transfer the bites to a serving plate or airtight container for storage. Enjoy immediately or keep refrigerated for up to 2 days.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for optimal sweetness and texture.
- Choose nut butters that are smooth for easier spreading.
- Ensure chocolate is fully melted and slightly cooled before dipping to prevent banana slices from melting.
- For added flavor, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt or crushed nuts before the chocolate sets.
- These bites are best consumed within 2 days when stored in the refrigerator.
