Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas peeled and halved
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 6 wooden popsicle sticks
Instructions
- Place chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Add coconut oil, and microwave it in 20-30 second increments, stirring in between until fully melted. Alternatively, you can place chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water and stir until melted.
- Transfer the melted chocolate to a tall narrow glass.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Insert a popsicle stick in one end of each banana piece. Dip one banana half in the glass of chocolate and allow excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place dipped banana back on parchment paper and immediately. Roll the banana in topping of choice, then return to the parchment paper. Repeat with remaining bananas.
- Refrigerate until chocolate is firm, about 20 minutes
