How to make Chocobananos (Chocolate Covered bananas)

dark chocolate

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate with stevia

💰Cheaper: milk chocolate

Milk chocolate is less expensive and still provides sweetness.

coconut oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is a cost-effective substitute for melting chocolate.

Cut the points off the bananas and set them aside.

Cut the banana in half down the middle.

Make a small cut at the end of the banana to help peel it off.

Insert a wooden stick into the middle of each banana half until about a quarter of the stick is inside.

Place the banana halves on a plate and freeze for at least 2 hours.

Melt the chocolate in a small pot over medium heat, stirring constantly to avoid boiling.

Once the chocolate is fully melted (after about 5 minutes), remove it from the heat.

Pour the melted chocolate into a mug for easier dipping.

Dip each frozen banana half into the chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated, and spin it around to cover all sides.

Let the chocolate-covered bananas sit for about 5 seconds to help the chocolate adhere better before placing them back on the plate.

Place the coated bananas back in the freezer, noting that the longer they stay, the harder the chocolate will get.
