FAQs

What type of bananas work best for this recipe?

Ripe but firm bananas work best. Overripe bananas may be too mushy after freezing.

Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate?

Yes, you can use any type of chocolate you prefer, including milk or white chocolate.

How do I keep the banana slices from sliding off the fork while dipping?

Using a toothpick or freezing the slices until they are very firm helps keep them stable while dipping.

Can I make these in advance for a party?

Absolutely. Make them up to a week in advance and keep frozen until ready to serve.

Are these suitable for young children?

Yes, but allow them to thaw slightly for easier chewing for very young children.

Is coconut oil necessary?

No, it’s optional. It helps make the chocolate smoother and glossier, but it’s not essential.

Can I skip freezing the banana slices before dipping?

Freezing first makes dipping easier and ensures the chocolate hardens quickly. It is highly recommended.

How long do they last in the freezer?

They can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months without losing quality.

Do I need to peel the bananas before freezing?

Yes, always peel and slice the bananas before freezing for this recipe.

Can I refreeze the banana bites if they start to thaw?
