Frozen Chocolate Coconut Banana Bites

This is the thing to make when all you want is a little sweet treat with chocolate that won’t take much effort to make. All you do is melt, dip, freeze, wait impatiently, poke bananas to see if they’re fully frozen yet, lick the melted chocolate off your fingers, wait some more, poke again, wait, forget about it, come back and enjoy an amazing little bite bursting flavor.

The chocolate freezes over like a chocolate ice cream shell. The coconut provides little more then something to make it prettier (unless you really load it on) and the banana freezes and becomes like a little bite of ice cream.

It’s a perfect summer treat. Not to mention fairly versatile. Try it with different nut butters (coconut cream concentrate might work really well here!), different dried coconut cuts, chopped nuts and different chocolates. It’s all good.

Enjoy!

These candies are delicious, but these melt a little quickly (or maybe it was my chocolate or something else?). Other than that this is a great recipe. Will be making again.

I did this with almond butter as I have discovered a recent allergy to peanut butter and it did not come out right….too thick to stick to the banana! What can I do to save this??
