Vegan Chocolate Covered Bananas

Is it possible to eat a banana without "this s*** is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S" running through your head? Our idea of an awesome night is dipping some bananas in chocolate and rocking out to Gwen Stefani! This delicious, vegan, chocolate-y creation makes such a great healthy snack!

Recipe by Plant and Sprout.

INGREDIENTS:

3-4 bananas

1 bar of your fave chocolate, melted

Popsicle sticks

Chopped nuts or seeds for toppings

INSTRUCTIONS:

Slice your bananas in half, and push through your popsicle stick about halfway so that the bananas have support and you can still firmly hold the stick in your hand. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and lay down your bananas. Roughly chop up your chocolate and either melt it in a bowl in the microwave in 20 second increments until the chocolate has fully melted, or melt over a double broiler until fully melted. Then, pour your melted chocolate into a shallow bowl or cup in order to dip your bananas in. Try to coat the bananas as much as you can, placing them on the baking sheet and allowing them to harden in the freezer for about 20 minutes before taking them out and dipping again. The double layer of chocolate is important! Once you’ve dipped the second time, sprinkle your choice of toppings on top and allow it all to set once more.
