Banana Bites

By Annabel Karmel

This light dessert is fun for children to make. It works best with slightly underripe bananas.

Ingredients

1-2 bananas
4 oz (110 g) chocolate – milk or plain
dried coconut
sprinkles

Directions

1. Peel the banana and trim off the ends. Chop the flesh into 6 pieces.

2. Break the chocolate into a heatproof bowl. Put the bowl over a pan of hot water to melt the chocolate, stirring occasionally. Leave to cool slightly.

3. Push a straw through the banana, then drizzle melted chocolate over each piece. (Don’t worry if it’s not perfect – it will still taste delicious!)

4. Roll the chocolate covered banana in the coconut or sprinkles. Let the chocolate harden, then serve.
