How To Make Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Banana Pops

I love this recipe not only because it combines one of my favoriote flavor combinations of peanut butter and banana but it’s also a no-bake recipe so it comes together with very little effort. My sister and I used to make these when we were little! I just added the cake pop sticks and layering of bananas to make them into adorable little portable snacks on a stick!

Slice your bananas into about 1/2-inch rounds
Lay them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for ~30 minutes Insert a cake pop stick into one banana slice
Pipe or spread peanut butter on top, then stack another banana slice on top Keep layering until you have a small banana “stack” (about 4–5 slices)
Repeat until you’ve used up your bananas
Freeze the stacked pops for about an hour until firm
Melt your chocolate in short intervals, stirring until smooth
Stir in chopped hazelnuts
Dip each banana pop into the chocolate, letting excess drip off
Chill in the fridge for ~15 minutes until the chocolate sets

Sliced bananas and layers of peanut butter are stacked on sticks, arranged vertically on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. The banana and peanut butter stacks resemble pops or skewers.

Recipe Tips

Here are some tips to help you make this delicious banana recipe :)

Freeze in stages: Don’t skip the freezing steps—it helps everything stay together when dipping
Use a piping bag for peanut butter: Makes layering easier and less messy
Work quickly when dipping: Frozen bananas can soften fast
Line your tray well: Parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easy
Chill after dipping: This helps the chocolate set with a nice snap

Ingredient Variations

Nut butter swaps: Try almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter
Chocolate options: Use dark chocolate for a richer flavor or milk chocolate for extra sweetness
Toppings: Swap hazelnuts for crushed peanuts, almonds, coconut flakes, or sprinkles
Add-ins: Sprinkle sea salt on top before the chocolate sets for a sweet-salty combo
Drizzle finish: Add a white chocolate drizzle for a bakery-style look

What Can I Use Instead of Cake Pop Sticks?

Wooden skewers (cut in half if too long)
Popsicle sticks
Toothpicks (for mini versions)
Even no stick at all, just make them as stackable banana bites! :)
