Chocolate Covered Bananas
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas
- 8 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons of coconut oil
- 1/4 cup of chopped nuts or sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Peel the bananas and cut them in half crosswise. Insert a popsicle stick into each half and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for at least 2 hours.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 8 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Remove the frozen bananas from the freezer. Working quickly, dip each banana half into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to help coat the banana evenly. If desired, roll the chocolate-covered banana in chopped nuts or sprinkles.
- Place the chocolate-covered bananas back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and return them to the freezer for at least 15 minutes to set the chocolate.
- Once the chocolate is set, the bananas are ready to be enjoyed. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer.
