How to Make Martha's Chocolate Covered Bananas

  1. Melt 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until completely smooth and melted.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Gently insert a popsicle stick into one end of each of 6-8 banana pieces (about 1 medium banana per serving).
  4. Dip each banana piece into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Use a spoon to add extra chocolate as needed.
  5. Sprinkle each chocolate-covered banana generously with 1/4 cup chopped peanuts.
  6. Place the bananas on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 3 days, until the chocolate is completely firm.
  8. (Optional) If you have leftover melted chocolate, spread it thinly onto parchment paper and let it harden. Once firm, chop it into small pieces and use as a topping for ice cream or other desserts.
