Frozen Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bark
Ingredients:

- 1 TBSP coconut oil
- Pinch of flaky salt
Instuctions:

- Once flattened, peel off the top layer of parchment or wax paper.
- Drizzle peanut butter over the bananas and spread it evenly to cover them.
- Finely chop a small handful of peanuts and scatter them over the peanut butter layer.
