Chocolate Covered Banana Pops

bananas (should have some spots, but still be firm)

(225 g) chopped high-quality vegan chocolate*

refined coconut oil*

peanuts,

Prep

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Peel the bananas, cut them in half, and insert a popsicle stick or wooden skewer into the cut side of each half. Place the bananas on the baking sheet with space in between them, and freeze for at least 4 hours, or up to 2 days in advance. After 2 days, the bananas start to get a little icy with no coating.

Melt the Chocolate: 

use either a double boiler or the microwave to melt the chocolate:

Double-Boiler – fill a sauce pan with 1-2″ of water, then place a glass bowl over the top. Bring the water to a simmer over high-heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low. While the water is warming, add the chocolate and coconut oil to the glass bowl. Use a clean and dry spatula to stir frequently, until the chocolate is around 80% melted. Then, carefully remove the bowl from the pot. Stir with the spatula until completely melted.

Dunk + Decorate: 

Remove the bananas from the freezer once the chocolate has fully melted. Hold each banana over the bowl of melted chocolate and use a large spoon or soup ladle to pour the chocolate over each side of the banana. Hold the banana upside down over the bowl for a few seconds afterwards, to let any extra chocolate drip off. Return the banana to the parchment paper and repeat with the remaining bananas. (Note: I recommend pouring the chocolate over the bananas instead of dunking because it keeps the temperature of the unused melted chocolate higher, meaning it won&#8217;t start to thicken on you as you work. If you dunk a frozen banana into the bowl of chocolate, it will start to cool and harden).

Serve: 

serve immediately, or store in the freezer until you are ready to enjoy. Once the chocolate has hardened, the banana pops can be stored in a freezer-safe bag for up to two weeks.
