Have you seen the new product in the Grocery stores named Banana Dippers? They sell for $3.50 and have 24 chocolate coated slices of banana in them. For $3.50 do you know how many banana’s you could dip in chocolate yourself? You could dip at least 6 if not more closer to 10!
I say save the money and dip your own. You can actually get creative with this and get your kids involved. My 5 year old can slice a banana using a butter knife and I’ve not met a kid yet that didn’t like to dip things in chocolate.
This will take about 5 minutes and you’ve got a fun and easy snack made.
- 2 Whole Bananas
- 1 bag Chocolate Morsels
- 1 tbsp shortening
- Peanut butter optional
- Chopped pecans and/or coconut optional for topping
Place chocolate morsels and shortening into a microwave safe bowl.
Microwave for 1-2 minutes until chocolate is melted.
While chocolate melts, line cookie sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Take melted chocolate and stir to mix together fully. It will be hot, please wait to let kids help until it has cooled a minute or two.
Slice banana into half inch slices.
Spread peanut butter on top of slices (optional).
Use a toothpick to pick up banana slice and dip it into the chocolate.
Place onto lined pan.
Cover with topping of your choice.
We topped the peanut butter ones with a different topping than the plain ones. That way you can tell them apart in the freezer!
