DIRECTIONSPeel bananas, cut them in half, and stick a popsicle stick into the cut side of each one. Lay flat in a large resealable bag and freeze. Once frozen, line a sheet pan, plate or cutting board that will fit in the freezer with parchment paper. (You can put a rubber band around the edges to keep it in place.) Melt the cacao butter, coconut oil and agave in a small saucepan over low heat, whisking until combined. Remove from heat, add the cacao powder and salt, and whisk together. Pour the chocolate into a narrow cup for ease of dipping, if you wish. Dip each banana into the melted chocolate and sprinkle on desired toppings before the chocolate hardens. Place the bananas on the parchment and freeze until the chocolate is hard, about one hour. Store in a large sealable bag in the freezer. Enjoy! *You will likely have leftover chocolate. You can pour it onto a small baking sheet lined with parchment and freeze to make chocolate bark, or save it and use it as a magic shell chocolate sauce!
