Crunchy Peanut Dark Chocolate Covered Bananas
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- 6 ounces of dark chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup of crunchy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup of crushed peanuts
Instructions
- Peel the bananas and cut them into halves. Insert a popsicle stick into each banana half and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for at least 2 hours.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 6 ounces of dark chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
- In a separate bowl, microwave 1/2 cup of crunchy peanut butter for 30 seconds to soften it.
- Dip each frozen banana half into the melted dark chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the dipped bananas back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the dipped bananas with crushed peanuts, gently pressing the peanuts into the chocolate to ensure they stick.
- Return the bananas to the freezer for 5-10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
- Serve and enjoy these delicious crunchy peanut dark chocolate covered bananas as a sweet and satisfying snack or dessert!
Dark Chocolate Covered Bananas with a crunchy peanut coating have a rich history dating back to the 1950s when they first appeared on the menu of a renowned dessert shop in New York City.

The creamy sweetness of ripe bananas pairs perfectly with the bittersweet dark chocolate, while the crunchy peanut coating adds a delightful texture and nutty flavor. Today, this indulgent dessert can be found in specialty chocolate shops and artisanal bakeries, with some chefs adding a sprinkle of sea salt for an extra burst of flavor. For the best version of this dish, it's crucial to use perfectly ripe bananas and high-quality dark chocolate, while the key to achieving the perfect crunchy peanut coating lies in using finely chopped roasted peanuts and a touch of honey for sweetness. Whether enjoyed as a decadent snack or a stunning dessert, dark chocolate covered bananas with a crunchy peanut coating are a true delight for the senses.
