Ingredients
  • 2 medium Bananas
  • 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon Coconut oil
  • optional Sprinkles
  • optional Chopped nuts
  • optional Crushed cookies

Preparation

Peel the bananas and cut them in half crosswise. Insert a popsicle stick or wooden skewer into the cut end of each banana half.

Melting the Chocolate

Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. The coconut oil helps thin the chocolate for easier dipping.

Dipping the Bananas

Dip each banana into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. You can use a spoon to help spread the chocolate evenly.

Adding Toppings

Immediately sprinkle your favorite toppings (sprinkles, chopped nuts, crushed cookies, etc.) onto the chocolate-covered bananas before the chocolate sets.

Freezing

Place the dipped bananas on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes, or until firm. This will prevent the chocolate from melting too quickly when eaten.

Serving

Once frozen, remove the bananas from the freezer and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer.
