Peel and slice the bananas into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Have nearby a sheet pan lined with wax paper.
Place peanut butter into a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or just until it's easily spreadable. (It doesn't have to be hot)
Sandwich together two slices of banana with 1/2 teaspoon of peanut butter. Arrange on sheet pan. Repeat with the remaining slices. Freeze for at least 1 hour or until firm.
Place chocolate chips into a medium size microwave safe bowl with vegetable shortening or vegetable oil. Microwave on 50% power or using the melt function for 1 minute. Stir and continue to microwave in 30 second intervals until melted and completely smooth.
Using a fork, dip each frozen banana bite into the melted chocolate covering completely. Return to the baking sheet. Sprinkle the tops with chopped peanuts while the chocolate is wet.
Freeze for 30 minutes or until chocolate is set.
Transfer to a freezer-safe container to store for up to 2 months.

If the chocolate begins to harden while dipping the bananas, place bowl back into the microwave to melt chocolate again, as needed.
