- 1 bunch Ripe Bananas brown spots are a good thing!
- Cake-Pop Sticks or Popsicle Sticks 1 per banana
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Milk Chocolate Chips
- ¼ cup Coconut Oil Unrefined is definitely healthier and will impart a slight coconut taste.
Optional Toppings:
- Crushed up Chocolate Sandwich Cookies/Oreos
- Shredded Coconut
- Chopped up Peanut Butter Cups/Reese’s
- Chopped Walnuts
Peel bananas carefully since they are ripe.
Cut off approximately 1 - 1½ inches from one end of the banana.
Stick each cake-pop/popsicle stick about ⅓ of the way through the cut end of the banana.
Freeze bananas for at least 3 hours (preferably overnight), left uncovered to prevent ice crystal formation.
Place each topping in a separate plate, ready for dipping.
Add chocolate chips and coconut oil to a long glass that is microwave safe. The glass makes for easy dipping of the banana.
Melt the chocolate and oil mixture in the microwave for about 1 min - 1 ½ min, stopping halfway to mix.
This next part (applying the toppings) needs to be done quickly because the chocolate will harden almost instantly: Take bananas out of freezer, dip in chocolate (use a spoon to cover the entire banana if your glass isn’t tall enough), then quickly roll into toppings (using your hands or a spoon to help you apply the toppings). Enjoy!
