Notes
Use ripe but firm bananas for best texture when frozen
Coconut oil creates the perfect "magic shell" chocolate coating
Double-dipping creates distinct flavor layers
Let sit 3-5 minutes at room temperature before serving for ideal texture Storage: Keep frozen in airtight container up to 2 weeks.
