This recipe is very easy to adapt for allergies. If your child has nut allergies or can’t bring peanut butter to school to protect other kids with nut allergies, use an allergy-safe nut butter alternative instead.
If your child has a dairy allergy, you can very easily find semi-sweet chocolate chips that are dairy-free.
First, I chopped bananas into 1/2 inch thick rounds:
Next, I topped each banana slice with a heaping teaspoon of peanut butter:
I melted the chocolate in the microwave and mixed in a tablespoon of coconut oil. Then I placed each Chunky Monkey Bite on a fork and dipped them into the chocolate.
You’ll want to lift the Chunky Monkey Bite out of the chocolate and tap the fork on the side of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate before placing it onto a waxed paper covered cookie sheet.
I let my daughter add the sprinkles herself:

Instructions
1. Line a large cookie sheet with waxed paper.
2. Peel the bananas and slice into ½ inch thick rounds. Lay the banana slices out in a single layer on the waxed paper lined cookie sheet.

Raise the slice out of the chocolate and then tap the fork on the side of the bowl to remove some of the extra chocolate. Slide the peanut butter banana bite off of the fork back onto the waxed paper. Repeat the process with each banana peanut butter bite. Top with colorful sprinkles if desired.
