My New Favorite Dessert

A few weeks ago I went to a farmers' market.  I like farmers' markets even though I sweat because it's always hot and every time I go to one I seem to run into people I know.  Really the last thing I want to do on the weekends is see people I know from school because I see them all week, sometimes I just need a break.  It's not that I am antisocial but, I would much rather be at home watching Giada (as in Giada at Home - my favorite cooking show on Food Network).

To continue with the food part of this post (sorry for my short rant) - the farmers' market.  I got a chocolate covered banana because for some reason I really was in the mood for one.  It was SO GOOD!  Since then I have been craving another one, so finally I got around to making one at home.

This is probably the easiest dessert you could ever make (like actually, I am lazy and even I did it).  There are only 3 ingredients (as my beautiful picture shows).

-1 cup of chocolate chips
-2 tbsp coconut oil (I saw on Pinterest that you could also use vegetable oil)
-frozen bananas

In case you don't know how to make the frozen banana part of this frozen banana treat (I'm assuming most people know how to do this step anyway) 

     -Put a stick in a banana and place the banana in the freezer until it is frozen.

To make the chocolate shell:

     -Put the chocolate chips and the coconut oil in a bowl and microwave it until the chocolate is melted.

Then just take the frozen bananas out of the freezer and immediately dip them in the chocolate shell and watch the chocolate harden.  I spiced my bananas up a bit with some walnuts but if that's not your thing, don't worry, it's not necessary.

Here is my beautiful dessert (sorry it's half eaten already)

Or, if you really want to have some fun, you can cut the bananas up and have little chocolate banana bites (equally as delicious and a little easier to eat).

I enjoyed this dessert while watching Jeopardy.  I got zero answers right (or should I say questions?) but who cares?  A satisfied stomach is more important than knowing music composers of the 18th century, right?

Happy eating!
