Why These Ingredients Work
Bananas
Frozen bananas become creamy and almost ice cream-like inside, making them the perfect base for this frozen dessert.
Semi-Sweet Chocolate
Semi-sweet chocolate provides rich flavor without being overly sweet and creates a crisp shell as it hardens.
Coconut Oil
A small amount of coconut oil helps the chocolate melt smoothly and creates an even coating around each banana.
Toppings
This is where the fun begins. Mix and match toppings to create your own favorite combinations.
Try:

How to Make Chocolate Dipped Bananas
Step 1
Cut each banana in half and insert a popsicle stick into the cut end.
Arrange the banana halves on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for about one hour, or until firm.
Step 2
Combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each round, until the chocolate is completely smooth.
Step 3
Remove the frozen bananas from the freezer.
Spoon the melted chocolate generously over each banana, rotating as needed until fully coated.
Immediately sprinkle with your favorite toppings before the chocolate hardens.
Return the bananas to the parchment-lined tray.
Step 4
Freeze until ready to serve.

Tips for the Best Chocolate Dipped Bananas
Freeze the Bananas First
Starting with frozen bananas helps the chocolate harden almost instantly.
Work Quickly
Once dipped, immediately add your toppings before the chocolate sets.
Line Your Baking Sheet
Parchment paper makes cleanup easy and prevents the bananas from sticking.
Get Creative
Set out bowls of toppings and let everyone decorate their own frozen banana. It's a fun activity for kids and adults alike.

-
Mini chocolate chips and sea salt
