Frozen Chocolate Covered Bananas
If you have been looking for an easy way to give the kids a healthier dessert, these Frozen Chocolate Covered Bananas are the perfect treat! With only three ingredients, these frozen bananas are super easy to make and can be created AND eaten by the kids themselves!
You’ll want to make sure to have skewers to place in the bananas before starting your recipe. If you don’t have any handy and desperately want to try these (who can blame you!), use chopsticks in each banana instead!
Frozen Chocolate Covered Bananas Recipe
Ingredients:
3 ripe bananas
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Sprinkles (as many as you want!)
You’ll also need:
Wooden skewers
Baking Sheet
Parchment paper
Peel your bananas and cut them in half. Take some wooden skewers and insert the pointy end into the cut (flat) side of the banana. If you are giving the treats to young children, it might be a good idea to snip the sharp end of the skewer off with a pair of scissors beforehand.
Place the bananas on a parchment lined baking sheet and freeze for 4 – 5 hours or until they are completely frozen solid.
Place your chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and melt in 30 second increments until the chocolate is smooth and melted. Holding the banana by the skewer, dip the front half of the banana into the chocolate, covering it until it’s approximately 1/2 covered. Work fast, as the chocolate will harden quickly after coming in contact with the frozen banana!
Immediately sprinkle the candy sprinkles over the chocolate before it hardens. Place your bananas back down on the baking sheet to harden (or into a glass cup (skewer side down) to prevent flattening the chocolate beneath the banana. Serve in about 2 or 3 minutes when the chocolate has hardened fully. Enjoy!
