Three Ingredient Recipe!
Bananas: Choose fresh and firm bananas to make the best chocolate dipped bananas. They can be cut in half or cut into thicker slices (like thirds) for smaller portions that are easier to handle.
Chocolate: Semi-sweet, dark, or white chocolate chips are all easy and fun to work with in this recipe! Add a drop or two of food coloring to white chocolate for pink, green, or blue chocolate dipped bananas!
Coconut Oil: Coconut oil blends the best with chocolate and helps it harden properly. Other oils carry too much flavor and will melt too quickly at room temperature.
Extras: Dip or roll chocolate bananas in chopped peanuts, candy bits, crushed cookies or cereal, coconut, sprinkles, or anything you can think of that’s colorful and tasty!
