Chocolate-dipped banana bites

Got a houseful of kids to feed? These delicious bites are quick to prepare, easy to make and cheap.

You can make these yourself, or get the kids to join in the fun and let them make up their own. Offer a selection of sprinkles, confetti or nuts for the kids to choose from. You can also provide a selection of different fruits.

You need:

Dip banana in chocolate then sprinkles

Dark chocolate
Bananas
Selection of sprinkles or nuts
Popsicle sticks

1. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or on a low heat in the microwave.

2. Cut bananas into bite-sized pieces and insert a popsicle stick into the cut end.

3. Dip the banana pieces into the chocolate then drop sprinkles onto it. You might like to do this over a large bowl so that surplus sprinkles fall into it. Alternatively, you can roll the banana directly into the bowl of sprinkles, but this can get messy if the kids are doing it for themselves.

Enjoy!
