Delightful mini chocolate covered frozen bananas coated with crunchy chopped almonds make for a perfect refreshing and sweet treat. These bite-sized frozen snacks combine creamy banana with rich, non-dairy chocolate and a nutty almond crunch, ideal for a quick dessert or healthy snack.

Ingredients

Banana Preparation

  • 3-4 medium sized bananas

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup non-dairy chocolate chips

Topping

  • 2/3 cup chopped almonds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bananas: Peel the bananas, then cut each banana in half width-wise. Next, cut each half into halves lengthwise, creating smaller manageable bite-sized pieces perfect for dipping.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: Using a double boiler or microwave, gently melt the non-dairy chocolate chips until smooth and creamy, ensuring it stays warm and workable for dipping.
  3. Dip the Bananas: Immerse each banana piece halfway into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to evenly coat both the front and back. Since bananas can be slippery, assist using a fork or toothpick to retrieve them from the chocolate without dropping.
  4. Add Almonds: Place the chocolate-coated banana pieces on a parchment paper-lined sheet pan. Immediately sprinkle the chopped almonds generously over the chocolate to ensure they stick well.
  5. Freeze the Treats: Transfer the sheet pan to the freezer and chill for 1-2 hours until the bananas are fully frozen and the chocolate is set hard.
  6. Storage: Once frozen, store the mini chocolate covered bananas in an airtight container or ziplock bag. Keep them in the freezer and enjoy within 1-2 weeks for optimal freshness.

Notes

  • For easier dipping, slightly warm the bananas beforehand, but not too much to avoid softness.
  • Use non-dairy or dairy chocolate chips based on preference or dietary restrictions.
  • Chopped almonds can be substituted with other nuts or seeds if desired.
  • These treats are best enjoyed straight from the freezer for a refreshing texture.
  • To prevent sticking, always use parchment paper when freezing.
  • If you prefer a sweeter touch, consider drizzling additional melted chocolate over the frozen bananas before serving.
