Ingredients
  

2 large ripe bananas

1 cup dark chocolate chips (choose milk chocolate for a sweeter treat)

1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, enhances melt and texture)

¼ cup finely chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or hazelnuts recommended)

¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut (for a healthier option)

Pinch of sea salt (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Begin by peeling the bananas and slice them into ½-inch thick rounds. Arrange the banana slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching to prevent sticking.

    Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, mix the dark chocolate chips with the coconut oil (if using). Heat the mixture in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each interval until the chocolate is fully melted and has a smooth consistency. Alternatively, for a stovetop method, use a double boiler to gently melt the chocolate over simmering water.

      Coat the Banana Slices: Using a fork or toothpick, dip each banana slice into the melted chocolate, ensuring an even coating. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off back into the bowl. Carefully transfer the coated banana slices onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.

        Add Toppings: While the chocolate is still warm and soft, generously sprinkle your selected toppings—finely chopped nuts, unsweetened shredded coconut, or a hint of sea salt—onto the chocolate-coated bananas. Feel free to mix and match toppings to create a variety of flavors!

          Freeze the Bites: After all banana slices are coated, place the baking sheet in the freezer and let it chill for about 1 to 2 hours, or until the chocolate has hardened completely.

            Serve and Store: Once frozen, you may enjoy the bites right away or transfer them into an airtight container for future snacking. These delightful treats can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months.

              Enjoy: Whenever you’re in the mood for a quick, tasty treat, simply grab a few from your freezer and indulge in your delicious Choco-Banana Bliss Bites!
