8 Ice-pop sticks
4 Bananas
Natural (no added sugar or oil) almond or peanut butter (optional)
1 1/2 cups Chopped bitter-sweet chocolate (70% cacao; 8 oz.)
Chopped nuts or toasted, unsweetened coconut flakes, and/or cacao nibs
4 Bananas
Natural (no added sugar or oil) almond or peanut butter (optional)
1 1/2 cups Chopped bitter-sweet chocolate (70% cacao; 8 oz.)
Chopped nuts or toasted, unsweetened coconut flakes, and/or cacao nibs
Halve each banana crosswise, and trim ends. (If using nut butter, halve crosswise again, dab ½ tsp nut butter in middle, and sandwich back together.) Skewer bananas with sticks.
Chill a parchment-lined baking sheet in freezer. Heat chocolate in a bowl in microwave in 30-sec increments until melted. Stir until smooth. Dip bananas in chocolate, using a spoon to coat (let excess drip off). Sprinkle with nuts, coconut, cacao nibs, or a mix.
Freeze on baking sheet until firm and set, about 30 min. (Will keep up to 2 weeks in freezer.)
Enjoy!
