Recipe - Chocolate Covered Bananas

Normally, I'm not a big fan of bananas, but when they're covered with chocolate I'm ALL in! 

INGREDIENTS: 
  • 2 ripe medium bananas 
  • 1 ½ cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon refined coconut oil 
  • 1 pinch salt 
Toppings (optional): 2 tablespoons each crushed peanuts, crushed pistachios, and all natural sprinkles

DIRECTIONS: Freeze the bananas: Slice bananas into 1/4-inch rounds. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for 45 minutes. 

Melt the chocolate: Start a pot of simmering water. Place the chocolate, coconut oil, and salt in a glass measuring cup or large wide mouth jar, and place it into the simmering water. Very carefully, stir the chocolate until it melts, using a hot pad or gloves to hold the glass. Do not let any of the water splash, or it will split the chocolate. (You can also melt the chocolate in the microwave in a liquid measuring cup, heating for about 30 second intervals and then stirring several times until the chocolate melts.) 

Dip and top the bananas: Make sure your toppings are ready, if using. Leave the jar in the double boiler to keep the chocolate warm. Use a fork to dip each banana slice into the jar, then shake off excess chocolate. Transfer the slice to the parchment lined baking sheet, using your finger to gently slide off the banana. Add toppings immediately (the chocolate freezes quickly). 

Freeze: Return the bananas to the freezer and freeze for 30 minutes. Then transfer the banana bites to a freezer safe container. Store up to 1 month.
