👩🍳 The Lineup: Ingredients You’ll Need
You probably have everything in your pantry already. No fancy ingredients. No drama. Just everyday things doing extraordinary work.
🛒 Shopping List:
-
1.5 cups melted chocolate (semisweet, dark, or milk—your call!)
-
1 ripe banana – just-ripe is the sweet spot, literally
-
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter – or almond, cashew, go wild

🍬 How to Make No-Bake Banana Snickers Bites – Step by Step
All right, apron on (or hey, maybe not—you won’t even get messy). Here’s how we get this delicious show on the road:
🔥 Step 1: Melt the Chocolate
Start by melting 1.5 cups of chocolate in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring between each round until smooth and shiny.
If it’s a little thick, stir in a teaspoon of coconut oil to get that silky texture perfect for pouring.
🍫 Pro Tip: Don’t walk away while melting. Chocolate’s dramatic—it can go from glossy to grainy in a second if you’re not watching.
🧁 Step 2: Pour the Chocolate Base
Line a mini muffin pan with mini cupcake liners or use a silicone mold. Spoon in 1–2 teaspoons of melted chocolate into each cup to form the base.
Tap the pan gently on the counter to smooth it out. This is the foundation—so we’re setting the tone strong.
🍌 Step 3: Slice and Layer the Banana
Peel your banana and slice it into 15 thin rounds—one for each bite.
Lay a slice right on top of the chocolate in each mold. Boom. Lookin’ good already.
🥜 Step 4: Peanut Butter Time
Add a dollop (about 1 teaspoon) of creamy peanut butter right on top of the banana slice.
Now we’re talkin’. That peanut butter is going to slightly firm up in the freezer, giving you that creamy Snickers vibe in every bite.
🥄 Step 5: Sprinkle Some Crunch
Top each one with a few chopped peanuts. The texture game is next level when you hit that crunch. Trust.
🌰 Mix it up: Crushed pretzels, toasted coconut, or mini toffee bits all play well here too!
🍫 Step 6: Seal the Deal
Finish each bite with another teaspoon or so of melted chocolate, covering the banana, PB, and nuts. Smooth out the tops with a spoon if you like things neat, or leave them rustic—your call!
❄️ Step 7: Freeze the Magic
Pop the tray in the freezer for 1–2 hours, or until firm. Once frozen, peel off the liners or pop them out of the molds and toss them into a freezer-safe container.
Now the hard part: trying not to eat five in one go.
🧊 Storage & Serving Tips
-
Store in an airtight container in the freezer

Eat straight from frozen or let thaw for 1–2 minutes for extra creaminess

🧁 Final Thoughts from Chef C
Here’s the thing. Not every dessert has to be a 12-step bake-a-thon. Sometimes, the best treats are the ones that let the ingredients shine. Banana. Peanut butter. Chocolate. Peanuts. That’s it. And somehow, it becomes so much more than the sum of its parts.
