What Are Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Bites?

These bite-sized treats combine sliced banana, creamy peanut butter, and melted chocolate into frozen candy-like snacks. Set in silicone molds and topped with crispy rice, they’re a modern twist on peanut butter cups—with fresh fruit and added crunch. Think of them as mini frozen delights packed with sweet, salty, and crispy contrast.

Pro Tips for the Best Bites

  • Use ripe but firm bananas—they hold their shape and sweetness without turning mushy.
  • Opt for smooth peanut butter for the creamiest finish, or go crunchy for texture.
  • Pipe the chocolate using a bag or spoon for clean layers in the mold.
  • Freeze thoroughly—a full hour ensures perfect shape and texture.
  • Add a sprinkle of sea salt or chopped nuts for a flavor upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Use Almond Butter Instead of Peanut Butter?

Yes! Almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter all work beautifully.

What If I Don’t Have Candy Molds?

You can use mini muffin liners or silicone ice cube trays as a substitute.

Can I Make These Vegan?

Absolutely. Just choose dairy-free chocolate and natural peanut butter without added milk solids.

Do I Need to Refrigerate or Freeze Them?

Freeze for best results. They need to set solid and hold their shape. Store extras in the freezer.

Can I Add Other Toppings?

Definitely! Try crushed peanuts, mini chocolate chips, coconut flakes, or a drizzle of caramel.

How to Store Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Bites

Once frozen solid, transfer the bites into an airtight container. Store in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Serve straight from the freezer or let soften for 2–3 minutes at room temperature for a creamier texture.

How to Freeze

This treat is designed to be frozen! After assembling, place the mold in the freezer and let the bites firm up for at least 1 hour. Once solid, remove from the mold and store in freezer-safe containers or zip-top bags. Avoid re-freezing once thawed to preserve texture.
