I am a huge fan of fruits. The actual fruit, fruit-flavored desserts, fruit drinks, you name it. I’m also a big fan of dark chocolate. And you know what I love even more? Dark chocolate covered fruits! Genius, right? Lately I was on a dessert-making kick and of course I had to start by trying out different no added sugar chocolate covered fruits. From bananas to strawberries, these are the perfect quick, simple, and delicious mini desserts.
First up I’m sharing these chocolate covered peanut butter filled banana slices. They’re so easy to make and truly the perfect post-meal treat! They keep well in the freezer after a few days though honestly I recommend eating them the first day. Plus, they’re so yummy you won’t be able to contain yourself!

Ingredients

- slice the banana, add a little bit of peanut butter to one side and place the other on top like a sandwich.
- freeze for about two hours. melt the chocolate and coconut oil in the microwave for 30-45 seconds and dip the frozen bananas halfway.
- keep in the freezer until you're ready to enjoy but they taste better if you eat them within a day!
And now a perfect treat for any day but especially Valentine’s Day: chocolate covered strawberries. I also like a little bit of white chocolate so I drizzled some on top for that cute look and sweet taste!
