Ingredients

• Dark chocolate – 6 oz
• Strawberries – 1 lb
• Flaky sea salt – 1/2 tsp
• Fresh mint – for garnish

3. Dip each strawberry into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Twist gently for even coverage.

5. Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the chocolate while still wet.
6. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
7. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until chocolate is set. Don't skip chilling; it firms the coating.

Frozen Banana Peanut Bites

Craving a cool, crunchy treat that's both sweet and salty? These frozen banana peanut bites are your answer. With just three ingredients and minimal effort, you get a satisfying snack.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 0 minutes

Ingredients

• Bananas – 2 large
• Milk chocolate chips – 1 cup
• Dry-roasted peanuts – ½ cup

Instructions

1. Peel bananas and slice into ¼-inch rounds. Aim for even thickness so they freeze uniformly.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Crush peanuts coarsely using a food processor or a zip-top bag and rolling pin. You want some texture, not powder.
4. Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring each time, until smooth. Tip: Avoid overheating; chocolate should be just melted and glossy.
5. Dip each banana slice into melted chocolate, coating both sides, then let excess drip off.
6. Immediately press the coated slice into crushed peanuts to adhere.
7. Place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat for all slices.
8. Freeze for at least 2 hours until firm. Tip: Freeze in a single layer on the baking sheet to prevent sticking; once solid, transfer to a freezer bag for storage.

5. Transfer each dipped segment to the parchment-lined tray. Repeat with all segments.
