What are Banana Snickers?

Banana snickers are inspired by the classic Snickers chocolate bar that contains caramel, peanuts, and chocolate. However, this one is healthier as it includes only four ingredients and no sugar. Instead, bananas are coated in peanut butter and peanuts before being dipped in melted chocolate. The results are a sweet treat that is sweet, salty, and chocolaty.

Pro Tips

• Use ripe bananas that aren’t too mushy yet as you want them to hold their shape when they are dipped in the chocolate.
• If you or anyone in your family is allergic to peanuts, feel free to replace the peanut butter and peanuts with almond butter and almonds.
• If you are looking to reduce refined sugar in your diet, choose peanut butter that is natural and doesn’t include any added sugar.
• Feel free to replace the dark chocolate with milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate if you prefer.
