Why You’ll Love These Chocolate Almond Banana Bites
Making these banana bites is so simple, it almost feels like cheating. Just slice a banana, melt some chocolate, sprinkle chopped almonds on top, and you’re done. No baking, no fancy tools—just a few minutes and a sweet little snack is ready.
I first made these on a lazy afternoon when I wanted something sweet but didn’t want to turn on the oven. I had a couple of bananas sitting on the counter, some chocolate chips in the pantry, and a bag of roasted almonds left over from the holidays. I threw them together, and wow—they turned out better than I expected.
The cold banana is soft and creamy, the chocolate adds just the right amount of richness, and the almonds bring the perfect crunch. It’s like a mini dessert that feels a little fancy but takes no effort at all.
Now, I make them all the time—after school snacks, movie nights, or when I just want a bite of something sweet without a sugar overload. Trust me, once you try them, you’ll be hooked too.
So, how do you make these simple little bites of joy? Let me show you!
What You’ll Need
Toothpicks or small skewers
2 ripe but firm bananas
100 g (about 3.5 oz) dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/3 cup roasted almonds, chopped
How to Make
- Prep the bananas:
Peel the bananas and cut them into thick slices (about 1.5–2 inches each). Arrange them upright on a plate or tray lined with parchment paper. - Melt the chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the chocolate until smooth. If using the microwave, heat in 20-second intervals, stirring in between. - Top the bananas:
Spoon a little melted chocolate over each banana slice, letting it drip slightly down the sides. Immediately sprinkle chopped almonds over the melted chocolate. - Insert toothpicks:
Insert a toothpick or small skewer into each banana slice for easy serving. - Chill (optional):
For a firmer texture, place the tray in the fridge for 10–15 minutes to let the chocolate set. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
How To Store
To store your Chocolate Almond Banana Bites:
- Fridge: Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The bananas will stay soft and the chocolate will stay firm.
- Freezer: For longer storage, freeze them! Place the bites on a tray lined with parchment paper and freeze for 1–2 hours until solid. Then transfer them to a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag. They’ll keep well for about 1–2 months.
Tip: If frozen, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating so they’re not too hard to bite into.
