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: Start by peeling the ripe bananas. Slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds, aiming for about 10-12 slices per banana. Arrange the slices neatly on a clean surface.

    Make the Peanut Butter Mixture: In a small mixing bowl, add the peanut butter, sea salt, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly with a spoon or spatula until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well blended.

      Assemble the Sandwiches: Take one banana slice and spread about a teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture on top. Place another banana slice on top to create a sandwich. Continue this process until you have formed sandwiches with all the banana slices.

        Freeze the Sandwiches: Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Carefully place each banana sandwich onto the tray, ensuring that they are not touching. Freeze the tray for 1-2 hours, or until the banana sandwiches are completely 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 well after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and has a smooth consistency.

            Dip the Sandwiches: Once the banana sandwiches are completely frozen, take them out of the freezer. Dip each sandwich into the melted chocolate, making sure to coat them thoroughly. If desired, sprinkle crushed nuts or granola on top of the chocolate before it hardens for an extra crunch and flavor.

              Set and Serve: Place the chocolate-dipped sandwiches back on the parchment-lined tray and return them to the freezer. Allow them to freeze for another 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has completely set.

                Enjoy: Once the chocolate is firm, remove the frozen chocolate banana sandwich coins from the freezer. Serve immediately for a refreshing and delightful treat!
