"Recipe developer Jessica Morone's banana split chocolate bark takes all the best parts of the classic dessert and elevates it into a bark brimming with sweetness. "There are so many different flavors here," she says of the recipe. "They all go together so well." Morone forgoes fresh bananas, using banana chips instead. The swap provides the bark with a more concentrated taste and a crunchy bite."
"To make the bark, start by melting semi-sweet chocolate chips in a bowl and pouring them into a parchment paper-lined baking pan. Sprinkle some peanuts on top for an extra crunchy layer. Next, blend the freeze-dried strawberries and mix them with some more melted chocolate chips. Morone opts for white chocolate during this step, but you can opt for whichever kind you prefer. Spread this atop the semi-sweet chocolate, then allow it to set slightly in the fridge."
A banana-split–inspired chocolate bark uses banana chips, freeze-dried strawberries, dried pineapple, and dried cherries for concentrated banana flavor and bright tartness. Semi-sweet chocolate forms the base, sprinkled with peanuts for crunch. A blended freeze-dried strawberry mix is combined with melted white chocolate and spread over the base, then slightly chilled. Additional chocolate is added, and banana chips and dried fruits are arranged on top before the bark hardens in the fridge for about 45 minutes. Any unique banana-split topping can be incorporated to customize flavor and texture.
