Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • ¼ cup cocktail peanuts
  • ¾ cup mini pretzels
  • 2 tablespoons caramel sauce
  • 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • Flaky sea salt

Method
 

  1. Line a baking sheet or a cutting board with parchment paper. Slice each banana into 12 pieces.
  2. Arrange them on the lined surface.
  3. Place a few cocktail peanuts on half of the banana slices. On the remaining slices, place one mini pretzel each.
  4. Drizzle a small amount of caramel sauce over every piece. Put them in the freezer for 10 minutes while you melt the chocolate.
  5. Line a mini cupcake tin with paper liners. If you do not have a mini tin, you can use regular paper liners and place them on a baking sheet. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil.
  6. Heat the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until mostly melted. This usually takes about three intervals, plus an extra 10 seconds if needed. Stir the chocolate until smooth to make sure it is not overheated.
  7. Spoon a small amount of melted chocolate into each paper liner. Add a frozen banana slice on top and press it gently to help the chocolate spread at the bottom. Work quickly so the chocolate does not harden before you can place the banana. If it begins to set, microwave the chocolate again for 10 to 20 seconds.
  8. Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the banana slices until they are completely covered. Thinner chocolate spreads more easily around the sides. To drizzle, scoop some chocolate with a small spoon and hold it over a larger spoon to help guide the pour. Move the small spoon in a circular motion to coat the bananas evenly. Scrape off any extra chocolate from the small spoon to keep the coating smooth.
  9. Freeze the bites for at least 10 minutes. Let them sit at room temperature for about 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
