Chocolate-Covered Bananas

When that after-dinner sweet tooth hits, chocolate-covered bananas are one of my favorite ways to answer it β€” creamy, chocolatey, and just three simple plant-based ingredients.

I love chocolate just as much as the next person (probably more!). These days we can find good, dark, non-dairy chocolate in a regular grocery store and adding that to bananas or strawberries is so much yum.

These Chocolate-Covered Bananas taste like dessert, but they’re made with real food that actually loves you back.

They’re perfect for keeping in the freezer, sharing with friends, or enjoying after a summer walk or cozy dinner. You can even turn them into ghosts for a fun, healthy (ish) Halloween candy.

No refined sugar, no dairy, and no crash β€” just pure, satisfying goodness.

Pro Tip

Add a drizzle of melted peanut butter or almond butter before freezing for extra richness and healthy fats.
