Ingredients

Banana & Peanut Butter Fudgesicles:

6 bananas frozen
8 oz Greek yogurt* plain or vanilla
1/3 cup peanut butter**
½ cup cocoa powder regular
½ cup canned coconut milk full fat
2 Tbsp honey, agave nectar or maple syrup
2 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Dipping Chocolate:

¼ cup cocoa powder
2 Tbsp coconut oil melted
3 Tbsp honey, agave nectar or maple syrup
1/4 cup roasted peanuts

Instructions

Banana & Peanut Butter Fudgesicles:

Allow bananas to thaw at room temperature for 30 minutes before beginning.
Place all fudgesicle ingredients in a food processor. Process for 2-3 minutes, or until completely smooth. Transfer contents to a gallon-sized zip-top bag. <--This ensures easy filling of your popsicle tray!
Fill each cavity of a 10-count popsicle tray with equal amounts of the fudgesicle liquid. Freeze fudgesicles for 10 minutes and then place popsicle sticks into each fudgesicle.
Freeze fudgesicles for at least 6 hours, or overnight, before serving.

Dipping Chocolate:

Just before serving, take fudgesicles out of the freezer and let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes.
Combine ¼ cup cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons coconut oil and 3 tablespoons sweetener in a medium-sized bowl and whisk to combine. Make sure dipping chocolate stays warm to ensure easy dipping of the fudgesicles.
Run popsicle tray under warm water for 10-15 seconds to help loosen up the fudgesicles. Remove fudgesicles, one at a time, and dip each into the dipping chocolate. Sprinkle with peanuts and enjoy!**

Notes

*If vegan, swap out the Greek yogurt for a coconut milk yogurt.

**If Paleo, use almond butter instead of peanut butter.

***If you do not want to eat all of the fudgesicles at once, simply dip in the dipping chocolate and then place fudgesicles immediately on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet in the freezer. Fudgesicles will keep for two months in the freezer.
