Ingredients

24 mini pretzels or 48 if not using banana
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 ripe banana sliced
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Cut your banana into thin slices.
Top each pretzel with a small spoonful of peanut butter and a slice of banana. Chill your pretzel bites in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Melt your chocolate chips and then dip each pretzel bite in the chocolate, making sure it is fully coated. Chill your bites for another 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set. Enjoy!

Notes

Use thick peanut butter: Helps keep layers from sliding apart. Natural or organic peanut butter is much runnier, which will prevent it from sticking to the pretzel and is not recommended
Freeze before dipping: Chilling makes coating easier and prevents mess
Melt chocolate in intervals: Melt in 20 second intervals, stirring in between each to prevent burning and keep chocolate smooth
Add a little coconut oil to chocolate: Creates a glossy finish and easier dipping
Use a fork or dipping tool: Helps evenly coat each bite
Tap off excess chocolate: Prevents thick or uneven coating
Work in batches: Keeps bites firm while dipping
Line tray with parchment paper: Prevents sticking and simplifies cleanup
Add toppings immediately: Sprinkles or sea salt should go on top before chocolate sets
Store properly in layers: Separate with parchment to prevent sticking
Ripe Bananas: Use bananas that are a little ripe, but not too ripe. Super ripe bananas will be hard to cut into clean slices and will be a lot softer. I recommend using bananas that are yellow and just barely starting to brown.
