Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Bananas
- 6 whole Strawberries
- 6 pieces Pineapple chunks
- 120 grams Semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil
- 30 grams Chopped peanuts
- optional Whipped cream
- 6 whole Maraschino cherries
- 12 pieces Toothpicks or mini skewers
Instructions
Peel the bananas and cut them into 1-inch thick slices. You should get about 12 slices.
Wash and hull the strawberries, then cut them into halves.
Assemble each Banana Split Bite by layering a slice of banana, a pineapple chunk, and half a strawberry on a toothpick or mini skewer. Repeat for all pieces.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Dip the top of each Banana Split Bite into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off.
Immediately sprinkle the chopped peanuts over the chocolate before it sets.
Place the assembled bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet to allow the chocolate to cool and harden (this can be sped up by placing them in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes).
Once the chocolate has hardened, optionally top each bite with a small dollop of whipped cream and a maraschino cherry, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
