Chocolate Covered Bananas with Extra Sprinkles
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas
- 8 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup of sprinkles
Instructions
- Peel the bananas and cut them in half. Insert a popsicle stick into each banana half and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for at least 2 hours.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 8 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip each frozen banana half into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to help coat it evenly. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing it back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle each chocolate-covered banana with 1 tablespoon of sprinkles. Repeat for all banana halves.
- Place the baking sheet back in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
- Once the chocolate is firm, the bananas are ready to be enjoyed. Keep any leftovers in the freezer.
