Assembly
- Remove the bananas from the freezer and spread about 1/2 teaspoon of peanut butter over each slice.

- Drizzle the melted chocolate over each banana bite or dip the tops for a thicker coating.
- Return the tray to the freezer and let set for 30-60 minutes until chocolate hardens and bananas freeze solid.
