- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, or as desired
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts, optional

Peel the ripe bananas and place them on the lined baking sheet. Using a fork or the back of a spoon, smush the bananas together to form a thin, even layer. Aim for a rectangle or square shape, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.

Evenly spread the creamy peanut butter over the smushed banana layer. You can use as much or as little as you like, ensuring it covers the banana completely.

Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 1 hour, or until the peanut butter layer is completely solid. This is crucial for the chocolate to set properly without mixing with the peanut butter.

While the banana and peanut butter layer is freezing, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips. You can do this in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth, or use a double boiler method.

Once the peanut butter layer is solid, remove the baking sheet from the freezer. Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the peanut butter layer, spreading it quickly with a spatula if needed to cover the entire surface.
⏱️ 3 min

Immediately sprinkle the chopped peanuts (if using) over the melted chocolate before it begins to set. Gently press them into the chocolate if desired.
⏱️ 2 min

Return the baking sheet to the freezer for another 1 hour, or until the chocolate layer is completely firm.

Once fully set, break the bark into irregular pieces. Store the peanut butter chocolate banana bark in an airtight container in the freezer. Enjoy directly from the freezer!
