Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

1 cup dark chocolate chips (or any chocolate of your choice)

1 tablespoon coconut oil

1/2 cup peanut butter (or almond butter for a different twist)

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/3 cup crushed nuts (optional, for added crunch)

1/4 cup granola (optional, for extra texture)

Instructions
 

Prep the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into 1/2 inch thick rounds. You should get about 10-12 slices per banana.

    Make the Peanut Butter Mixture: In a small mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sea salt, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well combined.

      Assemble the Sandwiches: Place a teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture on one banana slice. Top with another banana slice to create a sandwich. Repeat this process until all slices are used.

        Freeze the Sandwiches: Lay all the banana sandwiches on a parchment-lined baking tray. Make sure they are not touching each other. Place the tray in the freezer for about 1-2 hours, or until the bananas are solid.

          Melt the Chocolate: While the sandwiches are freezing, prepare the chocolate coating. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

            Dip the Sandwiches: Once the banana sandwiches are fully frozen, remove them from the freezer. Dip each sandwich into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. For added flavor and texture, sprinkle crushed nuts or granola on top of the chocolate before it sets.

              Set and Serve: Return the chocolate-dipped sandwiches to the parchment-lined tray and place them back in the freezer for another 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.

                Enjoy: Take the frozen chocolate banana sandwich coins out of the freezer and serve immediately for a delightful treat!
