Description

Delightfully simple and kid-friendly, these no-bake chocolate-covered bananas make a perfect healthy treat or dessert. Ripe banana slices are dipped in smooth melted chocolate and optionally coated with sprinkles or nuts before being chilled to set. Quick to prepare with minimal ingredients, this recipe is great for a fun snack or a refreshing frozen dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Bananas

  • 2-3 pieces Ripe Bananas (Choose firm yet soft bananas for best flavor)

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips (Use semi-sweet, milk, or dark chocolate)
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil (Helps chocolate melt smoothly)

Optional Decorations

  • 1/4 cup Sprinkles (Optional for decoration)
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Nuts (Optional for added crunch)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bananas: Peel and slice the bananas into 1-inch thick pieces to create bite-sized, easy-to-dip portions.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
  3. Dip the Banana Slices: Carefully dip each banana slice into the melted chocolate, making sure to coat them evenly. Let excess chocolate drip off before proceeding.
  4. Decorate: While the chocolate is still wet on the banana slices, sprinkle with your choice of sprinkles or chopped nuts to add color and texture.
  5. Chill the Treats: Lay the coated banana slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden completely.
  6. Serve: Enjoy these frozen chocolate-covered bananas immediately as a cool treat or store them in an airtight container kept in the freezer for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • Choose firm yet ripe bananas to prevent mushy texture after freezing.
  • Use coconut oil to help the chocolate melt smoothly and set better when chilled.
  • Sprinkles and chopped nuts are optional but add a fun crunch and color to the treats.
  • Store leftovers in the freezer in an airtight container to keep them fresh and enjoy within 2 days.
  • For a variation, try dipping banana slices in white chocolate or adding a drizzle of peanut butter before freezing.
