How to Make Chocolate Dipped Frozen Banana Bites

  1. Melt: In a heavy small saucepan over low heat, gently melt the 8 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, stirring frequently until completely smooth and melted.
  2. Cool: Remove from heat and let the chocolate mixture stand for 15 minutes to cool slightly. This prevents the chocolate from melting too quickly when dipping the bananas.
  3. Prep Toppings: Place your assorted toppings (chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, sprinkles, shredded coconut, etc.) in separate shallow dishes.
  4. Line Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  5. Arrange Bananas: Arrange the banana slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Dip in Chocolate: Using your fingers or a fork, carefully dip each banana slice into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated.
  7. Remove Excess: Gently tap off any excess chocolate.
  8. Add First Topping: Immediately drop the chocolate-covered banana slice into one of your chosen toppings (e.g., chopped nuts).
  9. Add Second Topping: Using a clean hand or spoon, sprinkle additional topping over the banana to coat it more generously.
  10. Transfer to Sheet: Transfer the decorated banana bite to the foil-lined baking sheet.
  11. Repeat: Repeat steps 6-10 with the remaining banana slices, chocolate, and toppings until all bananas are coated.
  12. Freeze: Freeze the banana bites for at least 3 hours, or until completely firm. Serve and enjoy!
