Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup dark or milk chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother consistency)
- Crushed nuts, sprinkles, or shredded coconut for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into bite-sized pieces, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
- Dip the Banana Slices: Using a fork or toothpick, dip each banana slice into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off.
- Add Toppings: If desired, immediately sprinkle crushed nuts, sprinkles, or shredded coconut onto the chocolate-covered bananas before the chocolate hardens.
- Freeze the Bites: Place the dipped banana slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is fully set.
- Serve: Once frozen, enjoy these Chocolate-Covered Banana Bites right away, or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for a quick treat later.
