Ingredients
  

2 large ripe bananas

1 cup dark chocolate chips (or substitute with milk chocolate for a sweeter taste)

1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, enhances the smoothness of the chocolate)

½ cup chopped nuts (such as almonds or walnuts)

½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Sea salt, for a dash of flavor (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas:

    - Start by peeling the bananas and slicing them into 1-inch thick rounds.

      - Spread the banana slices in a single even layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

        Melt the Chocolate:

          - In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips with the coconut oil (if using).

            - Heat the mixture in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring thoroughly between each interval until the chocolate is fully melted and silky smooth.

              Dip the Banana Slices:

                - Utilizing a fork or skewer, carefully dip each banana slice into the warm melted chocolate, making sure each piece is well-coated.

                  - Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the chocolate-covered bananas back on the lined baking sheet.

                    Add Creative Toppings:

                      - While the chocolate is still wet, artfully sprinkle your chosen toppings—whether that be chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or a light dusting of sea salt.

                        - Get creative with your combinations for added flavor and texture!

                          Freeze the Bites:

                            - After all your banana slices are dipped and decorated, place the baking sheet in the freezer.

                              - Freeze for a minimum of 2 hours, or until the chocolate hardens and the banana bites are fully frozen.

                                Serve and Indulge:

                                  - Once the bites are frozen, transfer them to an airtight container for storage.

                                    - Enjoy these delightful treats straight from the freezer, or let them sit at room temperature for a minute or two for a perfectly soft and gooey bite!
