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!

At least it didn’t fall off the stick and onto the floor :)

Angela,
Can I fly over 1,000 miles and have you make me one? See, we don’t have any bananers here in the village! UGH. Saving this until Summer VACAY!
Thanks Dear, for the new, 0h-So-Delicious-Mouth-Watering tutorial!!
of course!
Yum!!! Oh how perfect for summer! Thank you for sharing:)
Are you serious with that?? Looks so good and not the least bit unappetizing!!! Genius!
This post had me cracking up =)
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!!!!
*stomps off to the kitchen*
“Where are my bananas!?!?!”
Step 11: Get over the fact that the teenagers on the street corner are laughing at you because you look ridiculous eating a banana on a stick.
…oh wait, maybe that was just me.
Hahah love the photo tutorial Angela! You should do this more often!
It looks delish btw!
I fell in love with frozen chocolate covered bananas at Disney World a few years ago. Ever since, I’ve tried making them, but they’re always so messy! I love the little half bananas covered in dark chocolate in the freezer section of the grocery store. I forget what they’re called though…bunnies maybe? LOL can’t remember.
Holy YUM that looks tasty! Definitely going on the “to try asap” list.
” Realize that the stick does not hold up the banana like you hoped. Toss stick and eat with hands. ”
You are TOO cute, honestly.
Firstly wow! I love the new look over here, it’s the first time I’ve seen it since I usally read in google reader.
Your recipe looks so yummy, I’ll have to try it very soon! Thanks xx
You can’t go wrong with frozen banana. But chocolate and coconut makes it a gazillion times better. YUM
Ha Love this! The way you did it made me smile! :)
Yummy!!!!!!!!!!
i love chocolate and coconut! this looks delicious!
Here in Southern California we claim to have the ORIGINAL frozen banana stand. I used to live right down the street and I would ride my bike to get a big one double dipped in chocolate and then rolled in rainbow sprinkles and chopped nuts.
Here’s a secret I picked up from them: They insert TWO wooden popsicle sticks into the bottom of the banana while it is still in the peel. This helps the banana keep its structure and two sticks makes a sturdy handle. They then peel the banana, freeze, and then dip into the chocolate.
Here’s a picture: http://www.papawow.com/storage/P7050060.JPG?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1247430005122
Oh Goodness…I wish I still lived down the street.
Ahhhhh awesome!!!!!!! Will try this thank you!
