Long live chocobananos! ¡Vivan los chocobananos!

Chocobananos (Chocolate Bananas!) - La Cooquette

The what? Chocobananos are basically chocolate bananas, frozen, or they’re also called chocolate covered banana pops. whichever way you know them, they’re fun to make and make for the perfect summer snack!

Chocobananos (Chocolate Bananas!) - La Cooquette

I’m from Honduras and these are pretty much the staple summer treat (and year-long, since we don’t vary seasons much); people from El Salvador have them too. Chocobananos are great child-pleasers, making them can be a fun activity to do if you have kids or if you wanna relive your childhood.

And one of the things why I like them so much is that you can either have chocobananos bare (just the chocolate) or decorate them with colorful and flavorful toppings: I used sprinkles, María cookies (galletas María – another Latino staple!), coconut flakes and crushed peanuts – the salty and sweet combo goes very well!

If you’d like to learn how I made these chocobananos, head over to my YouTube recipe video:

And also check out this other yummy and easy treat with bananas: Banana Sushi! I think my banana-shirt influence my love for easy treats like these.  

There are lots of different ways to enjoy the summertime and these chocobananos are one – a pack of flavor with the least possible effort!  Let me know in a comment what toppings would you use on yours! And now, go, go go! Get out!! Get some sun!! 🙂

Servings 4 chocobananos
Calories 552 kcal

Equipment

  • 4 popsicle-like sticks

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe but firm bananas
  • 2 cups of chocolate chips, melted

Decor

  • 1 tsp of sprinkles
  • 2 tbsps of shredded coconut
  • 2 tbsps of crushed peanuts
  • 2 tbsps of crushed Maria cookies (about 5-6 cookies)

Instructions
 

  • Peel and cut bananas in halves. Then insert a popsicle-like stick in the center of each one.
  • Put the bananas in the freezer for 4 hours.
  • Once the bananas are frozen, you can prepare the chocolate coating.
  • Melt your chocolate using a bain-marie method. Place a heat-resistant bowl (i.e., borosilicate glass, ceramic, steel) over a pot with hot water. The bowl should submerge only halfway in the water so that your chocolate chips don't get wet.
  • Use a protective glove or towel to handle the pot, as it will be hot. Once the chocolate is melted and uniform, you can turn off the heat.
  • Introduce one banana at a time in the chocolate, spinning it and helping yourself with a spatula to fully cover the banana.
  • Take excess out with the spatula and decorate with your favorite toppings.
  • Place the chocobananos in a glass where they can stand still without touching each other. Then put them in the freezer for 5 minutes.

Notes
