Tips:
Choose a banana that’s ripe but still firm. If it’s not ripe enough, it will be tasteless. If it’s too ripe, it will be difficult to work with and will get mushy.
Coconut oil is optional but it makes the chocolate a lot easier to melt, work with and set. Use unrefined coconut oil to avoid the coconut taste.
If the chocolate starts to harden and it becomes more difficult to coat the sandwiches, re-melt it in the microwave for a few seconds.
Chocolate: I normally only use dark chocolate but you can use semi-sweet chocolate or even white chocolate.
Other nut butters: Peanut butter is my favorite to use with chocolate and bananas but you can use any nut butters like almond butter, cashew butter or sunflower seed butter.
Other fruits: I haven’t tried myself, but people have tried successfully with other fruits, like strawberries!
Dietary swaps:
TO MAKE PALEO: use another nut butter like almond butter and dairy free + sugar free chocolate.
TO MAKE VEGAN + DAIRY FREE: use a dairy free chocolate
