- ½ cup assorted toppings (e.g., toasted coconut, sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, nuts)
- 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
- 4 ounces peanut butter chips (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Bananas: Cut each banana in half crosswise and insert a popsicle stick into the end of each banana half.
- Freeze Bananas: Lay bananas flat on a parchment-lined baking pan and place in the freezer uncovered for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
- Prepare Toppings: Place each topping in its own shallow bowl or plate.
- Melt Chocolate: Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler over medium-low heat, stirring frequently.
- Dip Bananas: Pour some of the melted chocolate into a tall glass or cup. Dip frozen bananas into chocolate, turning to coat and letting excess chocolate drip off.
