Ingredients
- 2 whole Bananas
- 6 whole Strawberries
- 6 pieces Pineapple chunks
- 120 grams Semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil
- 30 grams Chopped peanuts
- 0 optional Whipped cream
- 6 whole Maraschino cherries
- 12 pieces Toothpicks or mini skewers
Directions
Step 1
Peel the bananas and cut them into 1-inch thick slices. You should get about 12 slices.
Step 2
Wash and hull the strawberries, then cut them into halves.
Step 3
Assemble each Banana Split Bite by layering a slice of banana, a pineapple chunk, and half a strawberry on a toothpick or mini skewer. Repeat for all pieces.
Step 4
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Step 5
Dip the top of each Banana Split Bite into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off.
Step 6
Immediately sprinkle the chopped peanuts over the chocolate before it sets.
Step 7
Place the assembled bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet to allow the chocolate to cool and harden (this can be sped up by placing them in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes).
Step 8
Once the chocolate has hardened, optionally top each bite with a small dollop of whipped cream and a maraschino cherry, if desired.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy!
