Chocolate covered bananas are a fun and easy dessert idea that uses just 4 ingredients, making it a perfect dessert for little helpers. Peeled bananas are sliced and frozen with a toothpick in each slice before dipping each one in melted chocolate. Frozen chocolate-covered bananas are a great dessert for warm summer days or a flavor change up during the holidays. Try them tonight!
