Ingredients

2 ripe bananas

1 cup dark chocolate chips (or semisweet chocolate)

1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, enhances chocolate smoothness)

1/4 cup crushed nuts (walnuts or almonds are great choices)

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

A pinch of sea salt

Instructions

Prep the Bananas: Start by peeling the bananas and cutting them into 1-inch thick rounds. Lay the banana slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring none of them overlap. Place this baking sheet in the freezer for about 30 minutes, or until the banana slices are frozen solid.

Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Keep a close eye to prevent overheating and burning the chocolate.

Coat the Bananas: Once the banana slices are frozen, dip each slice into the melted chocolate. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing it back on the baking sheet. For an extra thick coating, feel free to double-dip by dipping the slices in the chocolate a second time.

Add Toppings: While the chocolate coating is still wet, generously sprinkle the crushed nuts, shredded coconut, and a light pinch of sea salt over the top. This will add a delightful crunch and extra flavor to each bite.

Freeze Again: Once all banana slices are coated and garnished, return them to the parchment-lined baking sheet and pop them back in the freezer. Allow the chocolate-covered bites to freeze for an additional 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate has completely hardened.

Serve and Enjoy: After they're frozen solid, you can transfer the Choco-Banana Bliss Bites to an airtight container for easier storage in the freezer. These treats are best enjoyed straight from the freezer—perfect for a quick and delicious sweet fix!
