Chocolate Covered Nut Butter Banana Bites
Delicious little desserts in a manageable portion.
Servings 12 servings
Ingredients
- 2 small bananas
- 6 oz dark chocolate, chopped or semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1-2 tablespoons coconut oil
- Almond or peanut butter,
Toppings:
- nuts, coconut, cocoa nibs, raisins, cranberries, granola, whatever you wish!
Instructions
- Slice bananas, place on wax paper. Put a dab of maple almond butter on half the banana slices then top with remaining slices. If using a toothpick insert now.
- Freeze for at least 15 minutes (or up to an hour).
- When you are ready to dip, melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave (see how to make your own double boiler in post above. If using microwave, use instructions on chocolate package for melting) Add 1 tablespoon coconut oil and whisk until well blended. If you desire a thinner coat of chocolate add second tablespoon of oil.
- Pour melted chocolate into small measuring cup so the chocolate is deep enough to cover frozen banana bites when dipped.
- Pick up frozen banana bites and place in melted chocolate. Use two forks to gently place bite back on wax paper. If using toothpicks you can just dip while holding onto the toothpick.
- If desired immediately sprinkle with your choice of topping before chocolate hardens.
- Repeat until all bites are done.
- If you need to remelt chocolate half way through dipping, just place in microwave for a few seconds. Place chocolate covered bites back in freezer for at least another hour.
- Then place in an airtight container or baggie and place back in freezer.
- Take out of freezer a few minutes before serving.
