Ingredients

4 bananas
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1 cup nut butter
3 tablespoon desiccated coconut optional
1 pinch salt optional

Instructions

Start by chopping the bananas in half and inserting paddle pop sticks halfway into each banana.
Lay the bananas on parchment paper on a plate or chopping board, making sure they are not touching each other. This will prevent them from sticking together as they freeze. Place the plate in the freezer and let the bananas freeze for at least 2 hours, or until they are completely solid.
Once the bananas are frozen, remove them from the freezer and dip them in nut butter. You can use either peanut butter or almond butter, depending on your preference. If you prefer not to dip the bananas directly into the nut butter jar, you can use a spoon to cover each banana.
Lay the coated bananas back on the parchment paper, ensuring that they are not touching each other, and place them back in the freezer. Let them freeze for at least another 2 hours, or overnight if possible. This will allow the nut butter to solidify.
Once frozen solid, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop in a heat proof bowl in hot water.
Dip each banana into the melted chocolate, making sure to coat them completely. You can use a spoon to help the chocolate cover the bananas evenly. As soon as you dip each banana, sprinkle desiccated coconut and a pinch of salt over the chocolate coating. The coconut adds a delightful texture and the salt enhances the flavors but both a optional.
The chocolate will start to harden after a couple of minutes and can be placed back on the parchment paper. Once all the bananas are coated, you can either enjoy them immediately or place them back in the freezer for later.
