Chocolate Covered Bananas are Fun to Make and Delicious to Eat

My children love Chocolate Covered Bananas! They always make a great after school treat, weekend treat, party food, or even as an appetizer at a dinner party.

Since bananas are so easy to dip in chocolate, making them is really not very time consuming and certainly makes a perfect afternoon treat.

Some people prefer Chocolate Covered Bananas frozen on a stick, like the Popsicle style they serve at the fair. We also enjoy our Chocolate Covered Bananas in bite-size pieces.

My Cooking Motto


FAST & EASY

Supplies and Ingredients

  • Bananas

  • Chocolate for Melting ~ I prefer Saco Dolci Frutta

  • Nuts (optional)

  • Wax Paper

  • Popsicle sticks ~ If you want the Popsicle style treat
  • Simply Click on the Photo to Purchase the Featured Item




    Easy Directions for Bite Size Pieces

    Step 1: Cover a cookie sheet with wax paper ~ The cookie sheet will make it easier to move your Chocolate Covered Bananas.

    Step2: Melt Your Chocolate ~ If you use Saco Dolci Frutta, you can melt the chocolate in the microwave in their package container. Melt the chocolate in the microwave for 2 minutes on medium and stir the chocolate until it is completely melted. Other chocolates will need to be melted in a double boiler or a microwavable dish.

    Step 3: Cut your Banana to the desired size ~ bite size pieces are the easiest to dip in the chocolate.

    Step 4: Dip or Immerse the Banana pieces in the chocolate

    Step 5: Place Chocolate Covered Banana Piece on Prepared Wax Paper to Cool

    Step 6: Sprinkle with Nuts before Chocolate Cools, if desired

    Step 7: When you have covered all of the pieces in chocolate, eat or freeze. Best if not refrigerated.

      Now this one is for the kids. I love how truly easy this is. This would have been great for things on a stick day a few days back.

      I like the idea of cutting them into bite-sized pieces. Hopefully it is not as messy to eat that way!
