Once your banana coins are prepared and ready to be coated in chocolate, it is crucial to pay attention to the timing and stirring while melting your chocolate. Melting chocolate can be a delicate process; if left unattended, it can quickly go from perfectly melted to burnt. To prevent this, use a microwave or a double boiler method, stirring frequently. This helps distribute heat evenly and prevents hot spots that can lead to scorching.

Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

1 cup chocolate chip cookie dough (store-bought or homemade)

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

1 tablespoon coconut oil (for melting)

Pinch of sea salt

Optional toppings: chopped nuts, colorful sprinkles, shredded coconut

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Begin by peeling the ripe bananas and slicing them into coins, about 1/4-inch thick. Lay the banana slices out on a lined baking sheet, making sure they are not touching each other.

    Scoop the Cookie Dough: Using a small cookie scoop or a teaspoon, portion out approximately a teaspoon of cookie dough. Place it carefully on top of each banana slice. For a more uniform shape, gently flatten the dough slightly with the back of the scoop or spoon to form a small disc.

      Freeze the Banana Coins: After all the banana slices are topped with cookie dough, transfer the baking sheet to the freezer. Allow the banana coins to freeze for about 1 to 2 hours, or until they are firm to the touch.

        Melt the Chocolate: While the banana coins are freezing, prepare the chocolate coating. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave the mixture in 30-second increments, stirring in between each session until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

          Coat the Banana Coins: Once the banana coins are thoroughly frozen, remove them from the freezer. One by one, dip each coin into the melted chocolate mixture, making sure they are fully coated. Utilize a fork to lift the coins out of the chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off back into the bowl.

            Add Toppings: With the chocolate coating still wet, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top of each coin. Feel free to customize with your choice of optional toppings such as chopped nuts, vibrant sprinkles, or shredded coconut for added flavor and texture.

              Final Freeze: Place the chocolate-covered banana coins back onto the lined baking sheet. Return them to the freezer for an additional 30 minutes, allowing the chocolate to fully set.

                Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate has hardened, remove the banana coins from the freezer. Serve immediately for a delightful treat, or store them in an airtight container in the freezer to enjoy as a sweet snack anytime you desire!
