DISNEY CHOCOLATE COVERED FROZEN BANANAS (COPYCAT)

Disney Chocolate Covered Frozen Bananas dipped in melted homemade chocolate magic shell and covered in peanuts. The perfect slightly healthy treat!

Disney Chocolate Covered Frozen Bananas have been a favorite of ours every time we would go to Disneyland. Rationally speaking they’re actually a pretty healthy treat, with just a thin coat of chocolate, the frozen banana has a creamy ice cream texture and the nuts are a healthy snack that will keep you fuller longer.

Like my Klondike Bar copycat, these Disney Chocolate Covered Frozen Bananas benefit from my homemade magic chocolate shell that I make with bittersweet chocolate disks and coconut oil. The coconut oil helps the chocolate harden to a shatteringly thin and crisp texture. If you don’t want the hint of coconut flavor (its not very pronounced, I promise) you can also substitute vegetable shortening.

So I thought I would be fancy and do half covered in peanuts so it wasn’t just all one look….

Disney Chocolate Covered Frozen Bananas are a popular treat inside the parks. Frozen Bananas dipped in melted homemade chocolate magic shell and covered in peanuts. The perfect slightly healthy treat!

Ingredients

• 6 bananas
• 1 1/2 cups chocolate disks or chips (I use bittersweet, Disney uses semisweet)
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1 1/2 cup chopped peanuts

Instructions

1. Leaving bananas unpeeled, cut off the bottom inch or so, just enough to have the banana be mostly straight for easy dipping.
2. Into the cut side of the banana insert the popsicle stick leaving enough to comfortably hold (about 2 inches).
3. peel off the banana skin.
4. Freeze for an hour on a cookie sheet covered with wax paper.
5. Add the chocolate disks and coconut oil to a cup.
6. Microwave in 30 second increments until completely melted.
7. Dip the frozen, peeled, banana into the melted chocolate and remove, letting all the excess chocolate drip back into the cup, holding it at an upright angle.
8. If you let it drip upside down you are fighting gravity, the banana may slip off the popsicle stick and fall into the cup.
9. Either roll in the chopped peanuts or sprinkle the peanuts over the banana.
10. Put back onto the wax paper and repeat with the remaining bananas.
11. But back in the freezer until ready to serve.
