Ingredient Notes

You will need ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness. Choose high-quality dark chocolate chips for a rich coating. If you’re dairy-free, use dairy-free chocolate chips. You can also substitute crushed nuts for added crunch if desired.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals until smooth.
  2. Dip each banana slice into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated, then return them to the baking sheet.
  3. Refrigerate the chocolate-covered banana bites for at least 15 minutes until the chocolate hardens. Serve chilled for the best experience.

Things I’ve Learned

Keep your bananas slightly under-ripe for a firmer bite. If the chocolate isn’t melting properly, try adding a teaspoon of coconut oil to make it smoother. These bites can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week and are great for making ahead of time.
