3/4cupchocolate chips (or dark or white chocolate)
1teaspooncoconut oil
Flaky salt - optional
Instructions

When finished adding all the peanut butter, top with the other banana halves. Like little banana sandwiches.Note: Heat up the peanut butter in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds, this makes it easier to spread.Place in freezer for at least 30 minutes.Towards the end of that time melt the chocolate coating.
Chocolate Topping
Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in small dish and microwave with 20 second bursts stirring between each one until melted and smooth.Or use double boiler method - (pot of boiling water with a bowl resting on top) melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together.Remove the bites from the freezer.Take a spoon and pour the chocolate one the tops of each sandwich bite, allowing the chocolate to rundown the sides. You can coat the full bite with chocolate, but you will need more chocolate chips if you want to do this.Sprinkle with flaky salt if desired, then place the bites back in freezer to harden up, for about 15 minutes.After the 15 minutes, the bites are ready to eat or you can transfer the bites into a freezer safe storage container.Storage Tips: Store the ice cream bites in an airtight container in the freezer. They can be enjoyed straight from the freezer or allowed to sit at room temperature for a few minutes for a softer bite.Notes: You can also sprinkle on some other optional ingredients (after dipping into melted chocolate) like crushed nuts or cake decorating sprinkles to add some fun and festive colors.
