Ingredients
  

4 ripe bananas

1 cup dark chocolate chips (or semi-sweet chocolate chips for a milder taste)

2 tablespoons coconut oil

1/2 cup chopped nuts (choose from almonds, walnuts, or hazelnuts)

1/2 cup colorful sprinkles (optional, for extra fun)

8 wooden popsicle sticks

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Start by peeling the ripe bananas. Slice each banana in half crosswise to create two pieces. Insert a wooden popsicle stick into the cut end of each banana half. This will serve as the handle for your pops.

    Freeze the Banana Pops: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the prepared banana pops on the sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other to avoid sticking. Freeze them for approximately 2 hours, or until they are fully solid.

      Melt the Chocolate: In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, add the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat the mixture in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each heating. Continue this process until the chocolate is completely melted and has a smooth, glossy texture.

        Coat the Banana Pops: Once the banana pops are fully frozen, take them out of the freezer. Dip each banana pop into the melted chocolate, making sure they are fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before proceeding to the next step.

          Add Toppings: Before the chocolate starts to harden, quickly roll or sprinkle the coated banana pops in your choice of chopped nuts or colorful sprinkles for decoration. This will add a delightful crunch and visual appeal.

            Final Set: Return the decorated banana pops to the lined baking sheet. Place them back in the freezer for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to fully set and harden.

              Serve and Enjoy: Your delicious Choco-Banana Bliss Pops are ready! Enjoy them straight from the freezer! They can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week.
