Ingredients

• 4 whole Bananas
• 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, peanuts, or walnuts)
• 0.25 cups Sprinkles
• 0.25 cups Shredded coconut (optional)
• 8 sticks Wooden popsicle sticks

Directions

Step 1

Peel the bananas and cut each banana in half crosswise, creating 8 banana segments in total.

Step 2

Insert a wooden popsicle stick into the cut end of each banana half, making sure it is securely embedded.

Step 3

Place the banana halves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for 1 hour, or until firm.

Step 4

While the bananas are freezing, prepare the chocolate coating by combining the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl.

Step 5

Microwave the chocolate mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring between intervals, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Let it cool slightly to thicken.

Step 6

Place the chopped nuts, sprinkles, and shredded coconut (if using) in separate shallow bowls for easy dipping.

Step 7

Remove the frozen bananas from the freezer and dip each one into the melted chocolate, making sure to coat it evenly. Let any excess chocolate drip off.

Step 8

Roll or sprinkle the dipped bananas with your chosen toppings, pressing gently to ensure the toppings stick.

Step 9

Return the decorated banana dippers to the parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for another 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.

Step 10

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week.
