Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 tablespoon coconut oil (or vegetable oil)

Sea salt, for sprinkling

Optional toppings: crushed nuts (such as walnuts or almonds), shredded coconut, or colorful sprinkles

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Start by peeling the ripe bananas. Slice them into rounds approximately 1/2-inch thick. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the banana slices on it, ensuring they are spaced apart to prevent sticking.

    Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips with the coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the mixture is fully melted and smooth. Keep a close eye on it to prevent overheating.

      Dip the Banana Slices: Using a fork or a toothpick, dip each sliced banana into the melted chocolate, letting any excess chocolate drip back into the bowl. Carefully place the coated banana slices back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.

        Add Toppings: While the chocolate coating is still wet, sprinkle a light pinch of sea salt over each banana bite for an extra flavor kick. If you want to get creative, now is the perfect time to add your chosen toppings — sprinkle the crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or colorful sprinkles over the chocolate-covered bananas.

          Freeze: Once all the banana slices are coated and topped, place the baking sheet in the freezer. Let them freeze for a minimum of 2-3 hours, or until the chocolate has set completely and feels firm to the touch.

            Serve: After freezing, transfer the chocolate-dipped banana bites into an airtight container for storage. These delightful treats can be enjoyed straight from the freezer for a refreshing snack, or if you prefer a softer texture, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before savoring.
