Frequently Asked Questions
What If I Don’t Have Wax Paper?
You can use parchment paper or a silicone mat if you don’t have wax paper. If you don’t have any of these, place the baking sheet or plate in the freezer for a few minutes before using it. This might prevent the banana bites from sticking.
Can I Make These Vegan?
You can if you use vegan chocolate and your peanut butter is vegan-friendly.
Can I Use Almond Butter Instead Of Peanut Butter?
Definitely! Any nut or seed butter works well. Use your favorite!
My Chocolate Is Too Thick. What Can I Do?
Adding oil makes the chocolate thinner for easier dipping. If you don’t want to add oil, use a splash of milk. You may need to add a bit more if the chocolate is still too thick.
Can I Use Regular Chocolate Instead Of Dark Chocolate?
Absolutely! You can use dark, regular, milk, or white chocolate for a different taste.
Do I Have To Use Oil With The Chocolate?
You don’t have to. It makes the chocolate a bit thinner for easy dipping, but you can melt the chocolate without it.
What Kind Of Peanut Butter Is Best?
Any smooth natural peanut butter works!
How Can I Prevent The Banana Bites From Getting Soggy?
You have to be patient and wait until the banana slices are frozen solid before dipping them in the chocolate, and place them in the freezer immediately after dipping.
Can I Add Toppings To The Banana Bites?
Yes, you can sprinkle them with crushed nuts, sea salt, or sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
