2. In a microwave-safe bowl, add the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds, then stir until the mixture is smooth.
3. Dip each banana half into the melted chocolate, making sure it's evenly coated. Place the dipped bananas back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. Sprinkle the chopped peanuts (or other topping of your choice) over the dipped bananas. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 10 minutes until the chocolate has hardened.
5. Serve the chocolate dipped bananas and enjoy!
Equipment

Notes
- Be sure to use ripe bananas for this recipe. If the bananas are too ripe, they will be too soft and the chocolate will not stick. If the bananas are not ripe enough, they will be too firm and the chocolate will not stick.
- You can use any kind of topping you like for these chocolate dipped bananas. We used chopped peanuts but you can also use sprinkles, crushed walnuts, or even crushed pretzels.
- If you don't have coconut oil, you can use vegetable oil or even butter as a substitute.
