Instructions

Peel the bananas and cut them in half crosswise.
Insert a popsicle stick into each banana half and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Freeze the bananas for at least 1 hour or until firm.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and melted.
Dip each frozen banana into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to help coat if needed.
Immediately sprinkle with toppings if using, then return to the baking sheet.
Freeze the chocolate-covered bananas for another 30 minutes or until the chocolate is set.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer.

Notes

Use ripe but firm bananas for best results.
You can use dairy-free chocolate for a vegan option.
Add a pinch of sea salt for extra flavor contrast.
