I made these with the kids yesterday to snack on for movie night. We loved them! The only change we'd make is to use milk chocolate next time. These are delicious and so easy.
These are really yummy. I like to use coconut oil instead of shortening. Works great!
I didn't let the banana bites freeze until complete firm (as the recipe instructed), and so they started thawing as I was dipping them into the chocolate and were falling off the toothpicks! Next time I make them I'll be sure to let them freeze longer. Apart from my not following instructions, these were fun and easy to make...and yummy!
These are so much fun! We love the frozen chocolate banana bites from Trader Joe's but now we can make our own!
