Ripe bananas are skewered, frozen until firm, then coated in melted chocolate that sets into a crisp shell around the cold, creamy fruit. Roll them in chopped nuts, sprinkles, or shredded coconut before the chocolate sets for extra crunch. They're a simple make-ahead snack for hot days or kids' parties.

Ingredients

  • 6 medium ripe bananas, peeled
  • 6 wooden popsicle sticks
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped peanuts, for topping
  • 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles, for topping
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut, for topping

Method

  1. Peel the bananas and insert a wooden popsicle stick into the base of each one.

  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the bananas in a single layer.

  3. Freeze the bananas until firm, at least 2 hours.

  4. Place the chopped peanuts, sprinkles, and shredded coconut in separate shallow bowls near your work area.

  5. Combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy.

  6. Remove one frozen banana at a time and tilt the bowl to dip and roll it in the melted chocolate, using a spoon to coat any bare spots.

  7. Let excess chocolate drip off, then immediately roll the coated banana in your chosen topping if using.

  8. Set the finished banana back on the parchment-lined sheet and repeat with the remaining bananas.

  9. Freeze the coated bananas until the chocolate sets firm, about 30 minutes, before serving.
