Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

½ cup creamy peanut butter (or almond butter for a twist)

½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

¼ cup finely chopped nuts (such as walnuts or almonds)

1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate melting)

A pinch of sea salt (optional, enhances flavor)

4 slices of whole grain bread or gluten-free bread (optional for added texture)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Begin by peeling the ripe bananas. Slice each banana into rounds about ½ inch thick. For a different presentation, you can also cut the bananas lengthwise to create larger pieces.

    Make the Peanut Butter Layer: In a small mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter with a pinch of sea salt (if using) to enhance its flavor. Stir until well blended.

      Assemble the Sandwiches:

        - Take a banana slice and spread a small dollop of the peanut butter mixture on one side.

          - Place another banana slice on top to form a mini sandwich. Repeat the process until you have around 12-15 mini banana sandwiches assembled.

            Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil (if you're using it). Microwave on medium power in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.

              Coat the Sandwiches: Dip each banana sandwich into the melted chocolate. Ensure that each piece is coated on all sides for a delicious chocolatey experience. For a decorative touch, consider drizzling the chocolate over the sandwiches instead of dipping.

                Add the Topping: Before the melted chocolate begins to set, sprinkle the finely chopped nuts generously over the top of each chocolate-coated sandwich for added crunch and flavor.

                  Freeze the Sandwiches: Arrange the chocolate-covered banana sandwiches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the sheet in the freezer for at least 1-2 hours, or until the sandwiches are firm to the touch.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Once frozen, remove the sandwiches from the freezer. Enjoy them as a delightful, healthy treat anytime! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month.
