My older daughter filled the ice cube cavities with melted chocolate and peanut butter, while my toddler enjoyed putting banana slices inside.
We used it as an opportunity to teach our little one to count the number of cavities of ice cube mold, taking turns and being patient while chocolate banana bites set in the freezer.
Keep younger children away from the microwave, and make sure older children handle the microwave with care as the bowl in which chocolate has been melted could be hot.
Make sure that you supervise kids when they are using the oven. Check out the recipe and safety disclaimer for more details.

How to make chocolate banana bites?
Peel the bananas and slice them into rounds, about ½ to 1 inch thick.
Place dark chocolate chips and butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave in short intervals, stirring in between until the chocolate melts.
Pour a spoonful of melted chocolate into each cavity of the silicone ice cube tray. Fill just half of each cavity.
Next, place one banana slice on top of the melted chocolate in each cavity.
Then pour a spoon of peanut butter on top of the banana slice in every cavity.
Finally, fill the remaining space of each cavity with melted chocolate.
Carefully place the ice cube tray in the freezer and let it freeze for about 30 minutes to firm up.
Once the chocolate is set, your chocolate peanut butter banana bites are ready to be enjoyed!
Substitutions and Variations
Chocolate Chips: We have used dark chocolate but feel free to use semi sweet or milk chocolate.
Peanut Butter: We have used smooth peanut butter but feel free to use crunchy variety for varied texture and taste.
Nut Butter: Try almond butter or any other nut butter for flavour variation.
Vegan: Use dairy free chocolate and coconut oil instead of butter.
Storage
Store the frozen chocolate covered peanut butter banana bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a few weeks. If stacking the bites, place parchment paper between layers to prevent them from sticking together.
Tips and Tricks
Use ripe bananas: Make sure to use ripe bananas with a firm texture and a sweet taste, rather than overripe ones.
Storage: Avoid leaving it on the kitchen counter for too long as the thawing banana releases moisture, which will affect the texture of these chocolate-covered peanut butter banana bites.
FAQ
