📋 Ingredients:
- 🍌 4 ripe bananas
- 🍫 1 1/2 cups semisweet or dark chocolate chips
- 🧈 2 tbsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
- 🌰 Optional toppings: chopped nuts, sprinkles, shredded coconut, or crushed cookies
- 🍡 8 popsicle sticks or skewers
📝 Directions:
- Prepare the Bananas: Peel the bananas and cut them in half crosswise. Insert a popsicle stick or skewer into the flat end of each banana half. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until completely frozen.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Dip the Bananas: Remove the frozen bananas from the freezer. Dip each banana into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to help cover them completely. Let any excess chocolate drip off.
- Add Toppings: Immediately after dipping, sprinkle the chocolate-covered bananas with your choice of toppings. Place them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze Again: Return the chocolate-covered bananas to the freezer for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
- Serve: Once the chocolate is fully set, your Frozen Chocolate-Covered Bananas are ready to enjoy! Serve immediately or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week.
