Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

1 cup dark chocolate chips (milk chocolate can be used for a sweeter flavor)

1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, to achieve smoother chocolate)

Sea salt (optional, for finishing touch)

Chopped nuts (like almonds or walnuts, optional for a crunchy coating)

Shredded coconut (optional, for added flavor and texture)

Mini skewers or toothpicks (for easy serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Begin by peeling the ripe bananas. Slice them into bite-sized pieces, aiming for approximately 1-inch thick slices. Lay the banana pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring that they are spaced apart and not touching.

    Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and the coconut oil, if using. Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring gently after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and silky smooth. Take care not to overheat the chocolate to avoid burning.

      Coat the Bananas: Using a fork or a toothpick, carefully dip each banana slice into the melted chocolate, allowing it to become thoroughly coated. Gently shake off any excess chocolate to prevent dripping.

        Add the Toppings: If desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the chocolate-coated bananas, or roll them in chopped nuts or shredded coconut to enhance the flavors and add a delightful crunch.

          Freeze the Treats: Return the coated banana bites to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Once all the slices are covered in chocolate, place the baking sheet in the freezer. Let them chill for 1 to 2 hours, or until the chocolate is completely set and hardened.

            Serve the Bites: Remove the frozen chocolate banana bites from the freezer. For convenient serving, use mini skewers or toothpicks to pick them up. These delightful bites are best savored right out of the freezer!

              Store Leftovers: If you happen to have any leftovers (though they may not last long!), store them in an airtight container in the freezer. They can be kept for up to 2 weeks.
