Summer days call for treats that are equal parts refreshing, indulgent, and ridiculously easy. And these Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Pops? They’re my secret weapon for satisfying a sweet craving without turning on the oven. I still remember the first time I made these for my kids on a sweltering July afternoon. We had a bunch of spotty bananas on the counter, a half-jar of peanut butter, and a desperate need for something cold. What emerged from the freezer a few hours later was pure magic –
3 large ripe bananas
â…“ cup creamy peanut butter (natural or regular)
1 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate (about 60-70% cocoa)
1 tablespoon coconut oil (refined for neutral flavor)
¼ cup chopped peanuts (optional, for garnish)
¼ cup shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)
Flaky sea salt (optional, for garnish)
6 popsicle sticks
