Ingredients

• Fresh strawberries, sliced

• Banana, sliced

• Dark chocolate, melted (dairy-free chocolate can be used for a vegan option)

• Creamy nut butter of your choice (peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, etc.)

• Flaky sea salt (optional)

Directions

• Prep the pan: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will make cleanup a breeze!
• Assemble the treats: Arrange your sliced strawberries on the prepared baking sheet. Place a single banana slice in the center of each strawberry slice.
• Chocolate drizzle: Using a spoon or piping bag, drizzle melted dark chocolate over the strawberry and banana slices. Aim for a good coating, but you don’t need to completely submerge them.
• Optional sea salt: If you’re a fan of the sweet and salty combination, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over the chocolate drizzle on each treat.
• Nut butter time! Now for the creamy layer! Drizzle your chosen nut butter over the chocolate and sea salt (if using). Again, aim for a good coating without drowning the other flavors.
• Freeze and enjoy! Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate is completely hardened.
• Snack time! Once frozen, remove the treats from the baking sheet and enjoy! You can add another sprinkle of sea salt for an extra flavor kick, if desired.

Tips:

• For a more intense chocolate flavor, use a higher cocoa content dark chocolate.
• If the nut butter is too thick to drizzle easily, try microwaving it for a few seconds to soften it up.
• Want to add some extra color and nutrients? Drizzle melted white chocolate or ruby chocolate over the dark chocolate layer before adding the nut butter.
• Get the kids involved! Let them help with arranging the strawberries and bananas, and they’ll be even more excited to enjoy the frozen treats.

These Creamy Nut Butter Stuffed Frozen Strawberries are a delicious and healthy way to cool down and satisfy your sweet tooth. They’re easy to make, fun to customize, and sure to become a favorite summer treat!
