Ingredients
  

3 large ripe bananas

1 cup dark chocolate chips (or milk chocolate chips for a sweeter option)

1 tablespoon coconut oil (for smoother chocolate)

1/2 cup crushed nuts (like walnuts, almonds, or pecans)

1/2 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened for a healthier option)

Pinch of sea salt (optional)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas:

    - Peel the bananas and slice them into 1-inch thick rounds. Aim for uniformity for even freezing and coating later.

      Freeze the Banana Slices:

        - Place the banana slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are not touching each other to prevent sticking. Freeze them for about 1-2 hours, or until completely solid.

          Melt the Chocolate:

            - In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. You can also use a double boiler if you prefer.

              Coat the Banana Slices:

                - Once the banana slices are frozen, dip each slice into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess chocolate before placing the coated banana back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

                  Add Toppings:

                    - While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle your choice of crushed nuts, shredded coconut, and a tiny pinch of sea salt on top of each banana slice. Get creative with your toppings based on your preference!

                      Drizzle with Extra Chocolate:

                        - After all banana bites are coated, use a spoon or a piping bag to drizzle extra melted chocolate over the top for an appealing finish.

                          Final Freeze:

                            - Return the baking sheet to the freezer and let the chocolate coating set for another 30 minutes.

                              Serve and Enjoy:

                                - Once the chocolate is hardened, remove the banana bites from the parchment paper. Serve immediately, or transfer them to an airtight container to store in the freezer for up to a week.
