Toppings: sprinkles, chopped nuts, crushed pretzels, mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut

2. Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between, until melted and smooth.

3. Dip & decorate: Working one banana at a time, dip into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to help coat evenly. Quickly sprinkle on toppings before the chocolate sets.

4. Set and serve: Return to the baking sheet and freeze for another 30 minutes or until chocolate is firm. Serve frozen!

🍽️ Serving Tips:

Serve on a platter lined with crushed ice for backyard parties.
Wrap each in wax paper and tie with twine for a cute take-home party favor.
Slice into coins for a DIY banana sundae board.

🌟 Creative Variations:

Vegan version: Use dairy-free chocolate chips.
Tropical twist: Roll dipped bananas in toasted coconut and crushed dried pineapple.

🛠️ Troubleshooting:

Chocolate won’t stick? Bananas might be too wet. Pat dry or freeze longer.
Chocolate clumping? Try adding a bit more coconut oil and stirring gently.
Chocolate setting too fast? Decorate immediately after dipping.

❄️ Storage:

Keep in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
If layering, separate with parchment to prevent sticking.
No need to thaw — they’re meant to be eaten frozen!
