Ingredients
  

  • 4 ripe-but-firm bananas
  • 8 wooden popsicle sticks or skewers
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil optional, for smoother melting
  • Toppings: sprinkles chopped nuts, crushed pretzels, mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut

Instructions
 

  • Prep the bananas: Peel and slice the bananas in half crosswise. Insert a popsicle stick into each half. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 1–2 hours.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Set and serve: Return to the baking sheet and freeze for another 30 minutes or until chocolate is firm. Serve frozen!

Notes

  • Coconut oil makes the chocolate smoother and easier to coat, but it’s totally optional.
  • Get creative with toppings! Kids love rainbow sprinkles, but salted peanuts or crushed Oreos are a win too.
