Banana Snickers Bars offer a healthier twist on a classic candy favorite, combining the natural sweetness of bananas with sugar-free and light ingredients. This recipe is perfect for those looking for a guilt-free snack that still satisfies a sweet tooth.
Ingredients
- ½ medium banana
- 5 grams No Sugar Added Creamy Peanut Butter
- 5 grams Butter Spread
- 5 grams Smucker’s Sugar-Free Caramel Sundae Syrup
- 1 tablespoon Hershey’s Sugar-Free Chocolate Syrup
- 2 grams (approximately 4 peanuts) Kroger Light Salted Peanuts, crushed
Preparation
Step 1:
Start by slicing the banana into halves. You will use one half for this recipe, so you can eat the other half or save it for another use.
Step 2:
On a piece of parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, place the ½ banana. This will prevent sticking and make it easier to freeze.
Step 3:
Spread the creamy peanut butter evenly over the banana half. This not only adds flavor but also acts as a glue for the other toppings.
Step 4:
Drizzle the sugar-free caramel syrup and sugar-free chocolate syrup over the peanut butter-covered banana. These syrups will add layers of flavor, mimicking the classic Snickers candy bar taste.
Step 5:
Sprinkle the crushed peanuts over the top. If you don’t have pre-crushed peanuts, you can lightly crush them with the handle of a knife or a rolling pin.
Step 6:
Carefully place the dressed banana on a sheet pan and freeze for 2 hours. The freezing process will solidify the toppings and give the banana a firm, bar-like texture.
Step 7:
After the banana is fully frozen, transfer it to a Tupperware container for longer-term storage or enjoy immediately for a frozen treat.
COOKING Note
Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed over the banana to get a bit of each flavor in every bite. Freezing for the right amount of time is crucial to achieve the desired consistency.
