Chocolate Peanut Butter Bananas: A Simple Sweet Snack Made with Real Ingredients

Chocolate Peanut Butter Bananas are one of those snacks that feel like a treat but are made with simple, wholesome ingredients. This is the kind of recipe you can throw together quickly and feel good about serving to your family — whether it’s for an after-school snack, an easy dessert, or a sweet bite after dinner.

I love recipes like this because they don’t require baking, special equipment, or a long ingredient list. Just ripe bananas, peanut butter, and a drizzle of chocolate come together to make something that’s both satisfying and kid-approved.

These Chocolate Peanut Butter Bananas are naturally sweet, full of flavor, and perfect for busy days when you want something easy but still homemade.

Ingredients for Chocolate Peanut Butter Bananas

Before starting, make sure your bananas are ripe — this adds natural sweetness and the best texture. Using all-natural peanut butter keeps the ingredient list clean, and Lily’s chocolate chips are a great lower-sugar option.

Have parchment paper ready so cleanup is quick and easy.

How to make Chocolate Peanut Butter Bananas : a step by step guide

Prepare the Bananas
Peel the bananas and cut each one in half crosswise. Then slice each half lengthwise to create banana pieces.

Add the Peanut Butter
Spread about 1 tablespoon of peanut butter onto each banana piece.

Melt the Chocolate
Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between each round, until smooth.

Drizzle the Chocolate
Drizzle about ½ tablespoon of melted chocolate over each banana.

Chill
Place the bananas on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Bananas: SIDE IDEA

These Chocolate Peanut Butter Bananas pair perfectly with one of my go-to Crazy Busy Mama favorites — 3 Ingredient Fruit Dip. The creamy dip alongside fresh strawberries or apple slices balances the chocolate and peanut butter beautifully and makes snack time feel a little more fun and intentional.

I love serving these two together on a small snack board for after school, movie night, or even a light dessert spread. The bananas bring that chocolatey sweetness, while the fruit dip keeps things fresh and simple — a combo that both kids and adults love.

It’s an easy way to mix and match treats without adding extra work, which is always a win in my book. 💛

Crazy Busy Mama Tip

If you want neater chocolate drizzles, let the melted chocolate cool for about a minute before drizzling. Slightly thicker chocolate stays in place better and looks cleaner.
