Frozen Banana Snickers Recipe

(Okay, maybe not ruin… but you’ll never look at a regular Snickers the same way again.)

So you’re craving something tasty but too lazy to spend forever in the kitchen, huh? Same. That’s exactly how these Frozen Banana Snickers were born. Five minutes of effort, a quick freeze, and boom—you’ve got a cold, crunchy, peanut-buttery, chocolate-dipped dream that tastes like pure happiness on a stick. Let’s do this.

Why This Recipe is Awesome

Because it’s basically a Snickers bar that went to therapy and came back healthier, colder, and 1000% more fun.

It’s idiot-proof (even I didn’t mess it up, and I once set oatmeal on fire).

Zero baking. Zero fancy equipment. Just you, a freezer, and zero regrets.

And honestly? They taste so good your friends will think you secretly went to culinary school. Your secret is safe with me.

Ingredients You’ll Need

For 8 epic frozen banana snickers:

• 4 ripe bananas (not mushy, not green—Goldilocks level ripe)
• ½ cup smooth peanut butter (crunchy works too if you’re feeling chaotic)
• 1–1½ cups dark or milk chocolate chips (use what makes your heart sing)
• 2 tbsp coconut oil (makes the chocolate silky and snappy—don’t skip this)
• ⅓ cup chopped peanuts (roasted & salted = chef’s kiss)
• Optional: flaky sea salt for that fancy vibe

Pro tip: If you’re allergic to peanuts, calm down, we’ve got subs coming later.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Peel your bananas and cut them in half crosswise. Gently insert a popsicle stick (or fork if you’re ghetto-fabulous) into the cut end. Place on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 30–60 minutes. This step keeps them from turning into banana soup later.
2. Warm the peanut butter for 15–20 seconds in the microwave so it’s drippy. Spoon or spread it all over each banana half like you’re frosting the love of your life. Get in the crevices. Go wild.
3. Sprinkle or roll those bad boys in chopped peanuts while the PB is still sticky. Press lightly so they actually stay on. Back into the freezer for another 20–30 minutes.
4. Melt your chocolate + coconut oil together (microwave in 20-second bursts or use a double boiler if you’re fancy). Stir until stupidly smooth.
5. Dip, dunk, or spoon the chocolate over each peanut-buttery banana. Work fast—chocolate hardens quick on cold bananas, which is actually perfect.
6. Optional: Sprinkle a tiny pinch of flaky salt on top before the chocolate sets. You’ll thank me.
7. Freeze again for at least 2 hours (overnight is even better). Try to wait. I dare you.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Skipping the first freeze → banana turns into slippery mush. Nobody wants chocolate-covered banana purée.
• Using cold peanut butter straight from the fridge → you’ll rip the banana in half. Warm it up, lazybones.
• Being stingy with chocolate → these are supposed to be decadent, not “lightly kissed” by chocolate. Commit.
• Eating them all in one sitting → technically not a mistake, but your stomach might file a complaint.

Alternatives & Substitutions

• Nut allergy? Use almond butter, sunflower seed butter, or that cookie butter you hide in the pantry. No judgment.
• Vegan? Dairy-free chocolate exists and it slaps now. Trust me.
• Want them extra thick? Double-dip the chocolate after the first layer hardens. You’re an adult, live a little.
• No popsicle sticks? Cut bananas into chunks and make bite-sized “Snicker bombs.” Messier, but adorable.

IMO the peanut + chocolate + banana combo is perfect, but if you wanna toss in caramel sauce or pretzel pieces, I’m not your mom.

FAQs

Do these actually taste like real Snickers?

Better. Fight me.

How long do they last in the freezer?

Up to 2 months… if you have self-control like that. Mine last 48 hours max.

Can I use crunchy peanut butter?

Yes, and you’ll get bonus texture. Highly recommend if you like a little chaos.

My chocolate seized up—what did I do wrong?

You probably got water in it or overheated it. Next time melt gently and keep everything dry. We all have bad chocolate days.

Are these healthy?

They’ve got fruit. That counts for something, right? Let me have this.

Can I make them without the stick?

Totally. Just freeze flat on parchment and eat with your hands like a raccoon. Zero shame.

Help—they’re stuck to the parchment!

Run the bottom of the tray under warm water for 5 seconds or use a silicone mat next time. Rookie panic avoided.

Final Thoughts

There you go—your new addiction is officially ready. Grab one straight from the freezer, take that first crunchy bite, and try not to moan too loud. These Frozen Banana Snickers are stupidly easy, ridiculously delicious, and guaranteed to make you everyone’s favorite person (or your own favorite person, which is honestly better).
