Ingredients
- 4 bananas peeled and cut in half
- 8-12 oz white chocolate
- 1 cup shredded coconut flakes sweetened or unsweetened
- mini chocolate chips
- popsicle sticks or wooden skewers
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate using a double boiler, stirring frequently until melted and smooth.
- Gently insert the sticks or skewers into the center of the banana through the cut end. Carefully dip the bananas into the melted chocolate, turning to evenly coat before removing from the chocolate.
- Quickly transfer the coated fruit to a plate of shredded coconut, again turning to coat. Place the banana onto a sheet of wax paper. Place two chocolate chips onto the fruit, and gently press them into the coated fruit for eyes.
- Repeat the steps, as needed, until all the bananas are done. Leave them resting on the wax paper until the chocolate coating has hardened.
Notes
- Don't have mini chocolate chips? Regular chocolate chips make perfect oversize eyes. You could also use candy eyes, or even raisins.
- Want frozen banana pops instead? Have the wax paper on a baking sheet, and then transfer the pops on the baking sheet to the freezer. Freeze for 3-4 hours, then enjoy!
- Making a large batch? These can be stored in an air tight container in the freezer for up to a month!
