With a few tricks, everyone can easily make the most delicious Chocolate Bananas.

The secret ingredient is coconut oil, which loosens the chocolate and makes a very thin, smooth and crispy chocolate shell. Combined with the ice cream-like bananas, it’s out-of-this-world delicious. Chocolate Covered Bananas are one of my favorite chocolate recipes, along with Strawberry Chocolate Mouse, Melting Chocolate Balls, Chocolate Fruit Pizza, Ice Cube Tray Chocolate Bites and Oreo Truffles.

HOW TO MELT CHOCOLATE

Melting chocolate is very easy and you can either use stovetop or microwave. Personally, I like microwave approach better as it’s easier and faster. I also recommend using high-quality baking chocolate, although chocolate chips are also fine, especially when you mix them with coconut oil.

To melt your chocolate in a microwave, place chopped chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave at 30-second intervals. Stir each time in between until the chocolate is melted and smooth. It takes about 2-3 minutes in total depending on the amount of chocolate and the power of your microwave.Chocolate Covered Bananas are the easiest snacks ever!

HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE COVERED BANANAS

It’s this simple – peel and halve ripe bananas and insert a popsicle stick in the bottom. Place them on a baking sheet with parchment paper and freeze for about 1 hour. Melt the chocolate and dip banana, one piece at a time, in melted chocolate and sprinkle with your favorite toppings. Serve and enjoy!

SECRETS AND TIPS FOR MAKING THE PERFECT CHOCOLATE COVERED BANANAS

  • Use ripe bananas for this recipe, especially the ones are covered with small brown spots on the skin, as they are sweeter and the finished product will have a creamier texture.
  • Coconut oil is important if you’d like to have a thin crispy chocolate shell. You can substitute with olive oil.
  • You can substitute popsicle sticks with chopsticks if you don’t have them on hand.
  • After dipping the frozen bananas into the melted chocolate, the chocolate hardens very quickly, so you need to sprinkle toppings fast so that they can stick on the chocolate.
  • Chocolate covered bananas taste best if you can leave them in the fridge for about 30-45 minutes after moving them out of the freezer.
  • You can serve immediately or wrap them in plastic wrap individually. It keeps well in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
  • If you don’t use up all your melted chocolate, don’t throw them away. You can spread it on waxed paper and let it harden. Then scrape them from the waxed paper, chop and reserve for sprinkling on desserts.
