If you love a sweet-and-salty combo, these Banana Snickers Bites belong in your freezer! They are everything you love about the classic candy bar (creamy, chocolatey, and a little salty) but in a lighter, homemade version. Made with simple ingredients and no baking required, they’re dangerously easy to make and even easier to grab “just one more”!

When I’m in the mood for something sweet, especially while standing in the checkout line at the grocery store, it’s so tempting to grab a candy bar. That’s one of the reasons I love keeping a batch of these Banana Snickers Bites in the freezer. I know exactly what goes into them, they’re easy to make ahead, and they hit that perfect sweet-and-salty spot every time (you know what I’m talking about!).

They are completely husband approved and he’s a chocolate LOVER. He’s a big fan of classic candy bars, but these have totally won him over. Kids love them just as much, and I don’t think you’ll mind that there’s a little extra fruit tucked in. Cold, sweet, and snackable, they’re perfect for hot summer days when everyone is reaching into the freezer for a sweet treat! I usually keep them right beside my Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream.

Ingredients you will need

Just a few simple ingredients come together to make these bites! You’ll find the full ingredient list and exact amounts in the recipe card below.

• Bananas – ripe ones are best because they’re naturally sweet and creamy
• Smooth peanut butter – adds a nutty layer that sticks perfectly to the banana
• Caramel sauce – for that gooey sweetness that makes them taste like the candy bar. I personally use this sugar-free option when I make them!
• Crushed peanuts – a little crunch to balance the soft banana and peanut butter
• Milk chocolate wafers – drizzled on top for a chocolatey finish everyone loves. These are my favorite because they melt so smooth!
• Flaky sea salt – just a pinch to make all the flavors pop. I keep this one in stock at all times in my kitchen!

Tools you Will Needed

I keep this recipe simple, and these are the essential tools I reach for when making it.

• Baking sheet – to lay out the banana slices for freezing. I use this one for basically everything!
• Parchment paper – keeps everything from sticking and makes cleanup super simple
• Microwave-safe bowl – for melting the chocolate smoothly
• Spoon – for spreading the peanut butter and drizzling the chocolate. If you’re feeling fancy, you can even use piping bags to make it extra neat!

FAQs

variations

Make them vegan

Swap the caramel and chocolate for vegan-friendly options. There are plenty of great dairy-free caramel sauces and chocolate chips out there, and everything else stays the same. If you’re keeping things vegan, my Peanut Butter & Chocolate Vegan Ice Cream fits right in!

Leave them whole

Don’t feel like slicing bananas into rounds? Cut the bananas in half lengthwise instead and top them the same way. You’ll end up with longer banana bites that are just as fun to eat!
