Dip each frozen banana portion into the melted chocolate.

New Taste Thinking:
This is a great recipe to make with kids, yours or someone else's. It is also a great snack for kids because it looks and tastes like something special, which it is! As for adults, it is a great option when you are thinking about reaching for that pint of premium ice cream. The chocolate mixture may seem a bit different than what you may have seen on other dipped items and that is because this one is made without oil or heavy cream, by design. Please note: If you don't like coconut you can substitute a quarter cup of chopped walnuts or pecans.
