Ingredients

  • 4 ripe but firm bananas
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (340 g)
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil (30 mL)
  • 1/2 cup chopped peanuts (75 g)
  • 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles (40 g)

Directions

  1. Peel the bananas and cut each banana in half crosswise.
  2. Insert a popsicle stick into the cut end of each banana half.
  3. Place the bananas on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
  4. Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl.
  5. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  6. Dip each frozen banana into the melted chocolate, turning to coat it completely.
  7. Immediately sprinkle the chocolate-covered bananas with chopped peanuts or rainbow sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
  8. Return the bananas to the parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for another 30–60 minutes, until firm.
  9. Serve straight from the freezer.
