Chocolate-Dipped Frozen Banana Bites
Makes about 36
2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons canola oil
Assorted toppings for coating bananas (such as crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, toffee bits, chopped Butterfinger candy bars, chopped salted peanuts, or toasted shredded sweetened coconut)
3 ripe bananas, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
Stir chocolate and oil in heavy small saucepan over low heat just until
smooth. Let stand 15 minutes to cool.
Place each topping in separate shallow dish. Line baking sheet with foil.
Arrange banana slices on foil. Using fingers, dip 1 banana slice in
chocolate, coating completely. Shake off excess chocolate. Drop dipped
banana in 1 topping. Using clean hand, sprinkle more topping over banana to
coat; transfer to foil-lined sheet. Repeat with remaining bananas,
chocolate, and toppings. Freeze until firm, about 3 hours, then serve.
