Hello there!
Disclaimer: By reading this post you agree not to hold me responsible for unappetizing looking photos. I really did try my best. Sometimes bananas covered in chocolate, just photograph…shall we say…slightly unappetizing?
You were warned.
However, I could not keep this recipe from you because it was just so easy and delicious!
Step 1: Grab a banana.
The little black dress of fruit!
Step 2: Grab optional popsicle stick (see step 9).
Step 3: Stick the optional stick into banana. If you don’t have a stick, wait patiently while your virtual friends do so. :whistle:
Step 4: Now comes the fun part. Take 1-2 tablespoons chocolate chips and 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil. Put on a plate and melt in the microwave for 45-60 seconds, stirring well until clumps are gone.
You will have something that looks wildly delicious.
Step 5: Take Banana and roll around in chocolate-coconut mixture. I could not find an easy way to do this, but maybe someone else can? I used my hands and got messy and just rolled it all around. I also used the spoon to scoop some chocolate over it. It wasn’t the best method, but it worked. Ideally, you would have a pot of melted chocolate to dip the bananas into, but for a single serving this worked!
Step 6: Hot mess ensues.
Step 7: Sprinkle it with coconut and pop it in the freezer for 2-4 hours.
Step 8: Wait patiently.
Decide that you must leave the house.
Swim 30 lengths at the pool. Tread water for 5 minutes.
Repeat a new mantra: ‘Chocolate. Banana. Coconut. Chocolate. Banana. Coconut.’
Step 9: Remove from freezer and take the first bite. Realize that the stick does not hold up the banana like you hoped. Toss stick and eat with hands. :biggrin:
Step 10: Chocolate craving defeated.

I’m off to watch Gossip Girl from last night. Have a great night!
Oh my gosh, that looks like I want one right now! You’re too funny girl – the banana isn’t bad looking at all!
Oh gosh. That brings me right back to several childhood vacations to the banana shack on Balboa Island (yes, there really was a banana shack there in real life and not just on Arrested Development…lol)! Chocolate-dipped frozen nanners are such a yummy summer treat.
Thanks for sharing, Angela!
A BANANA SHACK? omg I would die with delight.
My mouth is literally watering right now. You are killing me!
haha I love it Angela! That looks incredibly yummy!
I don’t know what you’re talking about, the banana pictures are totally appetizing. So much so I want to make one right now!! xoxo
This looks DELISH! Will definitely be making these this summer!!
@Lindsay: A banana shack!? That’s AMAZING! Haha and not just for Mabe and George Michael…
The only word I can say is…..YUMMY!
Oh my god I want that!!! It looks so easy and delicious!
mmmm, looks SO good… oh how i wish i could eat one right now.
That looks amazing to me!
My aunt used to make us frozen chocolate covered bananas and I LOVED them. I can only imagine how perfect they would be with coconut!
I absolutely LOVE those!!! I get one every year at the fair that comes to Regina!!! I have never tried to make them at home though!!
Bliss is definitely the right way to describe this. I’ll definitely make this for dessert someday. :D Thanks for the recipe! :)
Wei-Wei
Which of those photos looks unappetizing?? They all look delicious to me!
Enjoy Gossip Girl! I missed last nights episode :(
I have bananas and I have chocolate. No coconut. I may have to do a ‘taste test’ of with and without the coconut. I’m okay with that!
YUM.
that’s all I have to say.
Unappetizing??? Then what must it be when it looks appetizing? Because I want one like NOW! :-D
YES! I am so excited. Something I can make in Mozambique!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
Oh I love chocolate covered bananas but my biggest problem is waiting patiently, I’d need to leave town!
Oooh… yum!
Damn you and your tasty eats!!!!

“Where are my bananas!?!?!”
