Preparation Steps

• Line a sheet pan or a larger flat plate with waxed paper.
• Cut each banana in half.
• Insert a popsicle stick into the cut-end of each banana, pushing the stick halfway in.
• Place all the bananas on the waxed paper-lined sheet pan and freeze for 1 hour, or until firm.
• While bananas are freezing, add chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl and pour in the vegetable oil.
• Melt the chocolate and vegetable oil in the microwave. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and fully melted. Be careful not to burn the chocolate.
• Prepare your chosen dipping decorations (like nuts, sprinkles, or coconut flakes) on separate flat plates or shallow bowls.
• Remove the firm bananas from the freezer.
• Working quickly, take one banana at a time and dip it into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. You may need to spoon some chocolate over the banana to ensure full coverage.
• Immediately after dipping, roll or sprinkle the chocolate-covered banana with your desired toppings. Place the decorated banana back on the waxed paper.
• Once all bananas are dipped and topped, return them to the freezer and freeze for at least 1 more hour, or until the chocolate is completely set and hard.
• Serve the chocolate-covered frozen bananas directly from the freezer and enjoy!
