CHOCOLATE COVERED FROZEN BANANA BITES


My husband and I recently bought all three seasons of Arrested Development on DVD. And in honor of all the time we've been spending with the Bluth family lately, I made some chocolate covered banana bites. There's always money in the banana stand! (If you've never seen the show, dear Reader, and you like dry comedy, I highly recommend it. :))

So the inspiration came from the TV show, but the case was actually just that I had some leftover chocolate melted in a bowl from another project, and there was one banana sitting in the fruit bowl. So it was an impromptu treat for two :)


Since I made them with only one banana, I figured I'll just give you the recipe for one banana. You can of course multiply as needed.

Chocolate Covered Banana Bites


  • one banana, sliced into 1/2-inch disks
  • 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips (this is probably a little more than you'll need)
  • 2 tsp. coconut oil
  • toppings (graham cracker crumbs, sweetened coconut flakes)

Lay the banana slices out on parchment paper and freeze for 30 - 45 minutes, or until frozen. Before removing them from the freezer, melt the chocolate and coconut oil in the microwave (increments of 20 seconds, then 10, stirring between each until melted). Use a spoon and knife to dip the bites and replace them on parchment paper. Sprinkle with toppings and return to freezer for 20 - 30 minutes.

They'd be cute on kabob picks or toothpicks for parties.


Bon appétit, dear Reader! Thanks for stopping by! :)

  1. These were so simple and delicious I've made them a regular weekend snack! The coconut oil makes the chocolate so smooth and gives them the perfect chocolate shell. Thanks for the great idea! I love your stuff :)
