Ingredients
– 3 ripe bananas
– 1 cup dark chocolate chips (or dark chocolate bars)
– 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for a smoother chocolate)
– Toppings of your choice (e.g., crushed nuts, shredded coconut, sprinkles)
Instructions
Making Dark Chocolate Covered Banana Bites is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into ¼-inch thick rounds. Place the banana slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
2. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
3. Dip the Banana Slices: Using a fork or toothpick, dip each banana slice into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off.
4. Place on Baking Sheet: Return the chocolate-covered banana bites to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all slices are coated.
5. Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle your chosen toppings over the wet chocolate before it sets.
6. Freeze: Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze the banana bites for 30-40 minutes or until the chocolate is firm.
7. Serve or Store: Once frozen, you can enjoy the bites right away or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for later enjoyment.
