Cool, creamy, and decadently delicious, fudgsicles are a nostalgic summer treat that brings back fond childhood memories. But what if we took this classic frozen delight to a whole new level? Combining the rich flavors of chocolate and peanut butter with the natural sweetness of bananas, these homemade fudgsicles are the ultimate indulgence on a hot summer day.

These peanut butter chocolate fudgsicle pops are a great wholefood alternative to store bought ice-cream bars. I love all the yummy fats I add to this recipe like peanut butter and extra virgin coconut oil that helps to balance the sweetness of the ripe bananas, keeping my blood sugars happy. It’s also great for picky eaters. I got my tiny human to help with assembly in the hopes that he’ll enjoy these bars too.
