State Fair Chocolate Dipped Bananas

One of the best things about the Minnesota State Fair is the large variety of food. There are so many options! You can literally find almost anything and everything at the fair. But one thing that we found at the fair that we loved was chocolate-dipped bananas. Who would’ve thought a frozen banana, dipped in chocolate would be a refreshing treat? But it is! Today, I’m making those beloved chocolate-dipped bananas but adding some crushed toffee bits to it. The crunch from the toffee is going to give it a nice flavor mixed in with the milk chocolate and banana.

You will need the following to make these at home –

3 Banans
Popsicle Sticks (I found them at JoAnn Fabrics in the unfinished wood aisle)
1 Bag Milk Chocolate Chips (or semi-sweet, whichever you prefer)
1 bag Toffee Bits

First, slice the bananas in two. Peel them and place a popsicle stick in them.

Lay them flat on wax paper on a tray and place them in the freezer for about a half-hour.

Once the bananas are frozen it’s time to melt the chocolate.

Take a liquid measuring cup or large mug and pour the chocolate chips into them. Melt in 30-second intervals in the microwave, be sure to stir them in between. It took me about 1 minute 20 seconds to melt the chocolate.

Take a small plate and pout the toffee bits out in an even layer.

Dip a frozen banana in the melted chocolate. Be sure to shake off the excess.

Roll the banana in the toffee bits.

Place back on the wax paper and place in the freezer for about a half-hour.

Once the chocolate has hardened you are ready to enjoy!

Store the chocolate-covered bananas in a baggie or airtight container in the freezer until you are ready to enjoy.
