Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup crushed nuts (e.g., peanuts, almonds, or walnuts)
- 0.25 cup rainbow sprinkles
- 0.25 cup shredded coconut
- 4 toothpicks or popsicle sticks
- 1 sheet parchment paper
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
Peel the bananas and cut them in half crosswise. Insert a toothpick or popsicle stick into the flat end of each banana piece. Place them on the prepared sheet and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
Set up three shallow bowls: one with crushed nuts, one with sprinkles, and one with shredded coconut.
Remove the bananas from the refrigerator. Dip each banana piece into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to ensure it is fully coated. Let excess chocolate drip off.
Roll the chocolate-coated bananas in the toppings of your choice (crushed nuts, sprinkles, or shredded coconut). For variation, you can use a combination of toppings on one banana.
Place the finished bananas back onto the lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set.
Serve chilled and enjoy your Banana Bonkers!
