Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

1 cup dark chocolate chips (milk chocolate can be used for a sweeter option)

1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, to achieve a creamier melt)

Sea salt (for a flavorful garnish)

Chopped nuts (such as almonds or walnuts) or shredded coconut (optional, for added crunch)

Instructions
 

Prep the Bananas: Start by peeling the ripe bananas. Slice each banana into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Evenly spread the banana slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are in a single layer to prevent sticking.

    Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil (if you're using it). Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring vigorously after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and silky smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate using a double boiler over low to medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent any scorching.

      Dip the Banana Slices: Using a fork or toothpick, dip each banana slice into the luscious melted chocolate. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before setting them back down. If desired, immediately sprinkle the chocolate-covered bananas with chopped nuts or shredded coconut for an extra layer of flavor and texture.

        Sprinkle Sea Salt: After dipping, sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on each chocolate-dipped banana slice. The salt will elevate the sweetness of the chocolate and enhance the overall taste.

          Freeze the Bites: Carefully return the chocolate-dipped banana slices to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Put the baking sheet in the freezer and allow it to chill for a minimum of 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate has set firmly.

            Serve and Enjoy: Once frozen, transfer the chocolate banana bites to an airtight container for storage. They are delicious as is—directly from the freezer—or you can let them sit for a few minutes at room temperature for a softer, creamier bite!
