A delightful twist on frozen bananas, these chocolate-dipped banana bites are a treat for all ages.
Peel the bananas and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
Use a sharp knife to make clean cuts for uniform pieces.
Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
Avoid overheating the chocolate to prevent it from seizing.
Dip each banana piece into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated.
Use a fork to lift the banana pieces out of the chocolate for an even coating.
Place the chocolate-coated banana pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Ensure the pieces are spaced apart to prevent sticking.
Sprinkle the crushed almonds over the chocolate-coated banana pieces.
Press the almonds gently into the chocolate to help them adhere.
Freeze the banana bites for at least 1 hour until the chocolate is set.
Place the baking sheet flat in the freezer to maintain the shape of the bites.
Serve the frozen banana bites as a delightful dessert or snack.
Let the bites sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for the best texture.
