Yassss! Sign me up! These little cups are a really fun project to make with the kids this summer!"

When shopping for the ingredients for this frozen snack or dessert recipe, Rachel says to "look for high percentage cacao for the chocolate, and your PB [peanut butter] should really be nothing but peanuts, and maybe sea salt."

Here is your shopping list for this healthy, clean-eating chocolate banana peanut butter cups recipe: fresh bananas (read about the health benefits of bananas), dark chocolate (dark chocolate has health benefits), coconut oil and all-natural peanut butter (learn about the health benefits of peanut butter).
