What makes this snack healthy?

Peanut Butter:
When purchasing peanut butter, be sure to check the nutritional labels. Try to choose a low-sugar, low-sodium peanut or nut butter for a healthier option.
- Another wonderful source for essential vitamins and minerals
- Contains many nutrients that promote heart health

Helpful Tips:
- I’d recommend using two platters or baking sheets so that you’re only taking half of the frozen banana bites out of the freezer at a time. If you take all 30 out at the same time, some of the bites will start to thaw and get slippery before you get a chance to dip them in the chocolate.
- When you store the banana bites for a long period of time, they can get pretty hard so you’ll want to take them out the freezer and let them thaw for about 5 minutes before devouring.
