While the banana pieces are freezing, prepare the chocolate coating. Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a double boiler method (a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bowl does not touch the water) or in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy. Once melted, stir in the chopped peanuts.

Place the chocolate-coated banana bites back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Return them to the freezer for another 20-25 minutes, or until the chocolate shell is firm and set. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer.
