- Cut the bananas in halves. If your bananas are small, you can skip this step and use one whole banana per chocobananas.
- Stick a paddle or toothpick into each half and remove the skin.
- Leave them on a plate and take them to freeze for about 4 hours.
- Take them out of the freezer and prepare the chocolate. You can melt it in a water bath or microwave.
- If you do it in the microwave, melt it in 20 second intervals, take it out and stir it so it melts properly and doesn’t burn. Continue until completely melted.
- Tip: You can add a splash of milk if the chocolate is too thick.
- Prepare the ingredients to assemble your chocobananas.
- Place the bananas, melted chocolate, and any toppings you want to use on a work table.
- Dip the bananas in the chocolate and cover them completely with the help of a spoon.

- Once ready, refrigerate the chocobananas for 4-6 hours and enjoy them cold and refreshing.
