Ingredients
-
3 ripe but firm bananas
-
1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or dark chocolate chips)
-
1 tbsp coconut oil (helps the chocolate melt smoothly)
-
¾ cup white chocolate chips (for the “bandages”)
-
Candy eyes (available at most grocery or craft stores)
-
Lollipop sticks or popsicle sticks
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Bananas
Peel the bananas and cut each one in half crosswise to create six pieces.
Insert a popsicle stick or lollipop stick into the flat end of each banana half.
Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 1 hour, or until completely firm.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil.
Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and fully melted.
Step 3: Coat the Bananas
Dip each frozen banana half into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to help cover the entire surface.
Let the excess drip off, then place the banana mummies back on the parchment-lined tray.
Quickly press two candy eyes onto each banana before the chocolate sets.
Return to the freezer for 15 minutes to allow the coating to harden.
Step 4: Make the Mummy Bandages
Melt the white chocolate chips in a separate bowl using the same 30-second microwave method.
Transfer the melted white chocolate into a piping bag or zip-top bag with a tiny corner snipped off.
Drizzle the white chocolate across each banana in a zigzag pattern to resemble mummy bandages.
Don’t cover the eyes—leave them peeking out for the full spooky effect.
Freeze again for 10-15 minutes to set the bandages.
Step 5: Serve or Store
Once everything is firm, your Chocolate Covered Banana Mummies are ready to enjoy!
Serve immediately or transfer to a freezer-safe container for later.
Notes
Use Firm Bananas – Overripe bananas will be too soft for dipping and freezing.
Work Quickly – Frozen bananas can cause the chocolate to harden fast, so have everything ready.
Keep Them Cold – These treats are best served cold straight from the freezer.
