I’m a huge fan of chocolate dipped ANYTHING! I especially enjoy chocolate dipped bananas. So in honor of Valentine’s Day I decided to get a little creative this time – and instead of dipping regular bananas on a stick (which I didn’t actually have any of – hence the idea!) I decided to cut out little heart shapes in the bananas, and dip those into the chocolate creating tasty Heart shaped Chocolate Covered Bananas.
They turned out perfectly – and were amazingly delicious to have as a treat for the whole family. Something my kids wouldn’t take 3 bites of only to leave on the counter somewhere while the chocolate melts and bananas rot.
When dipping bananas – it’s best to choose a slightly greenish colored banana. These bananas probably would have been better 1-2 days earlier, but it’s what I had!
I used a small heart shaped cutter. In the end, I found it was best to cut the banana in half lengthwise – and rather than what the photo shows here, I turned the heart cutter horizontal – so it was evenly large in the center, sloping downwards on the sides of the banana.
Dipping was slightly complicated. I should have frozen the bananas as they were for a little bit prior to dipping – to make them a little easier to pick up. I used toothpicks through the side and dipped, spinning as it was dripping.
I tried all the colored sugar sprinkles, but the best was the little edible heart flecks that I found at Michaels (I believe they were made by Wilton).
Then I froze them overnight, covered with saran wrap. Actually – I laid them outside, since it was easier with our sub-zero temps!
Soo Yummy!
These are adorable! What a great idea!
These turned out super cute! the kids would enjoy eating these.
This is such a cute idea! My grandson loves bananas and chocolate. Perfect!
These are cute. It’s nice to have a festive seasonal treat that is healthy too!
These are so cute and I am sure it wouldn’t be hard to get a child to eat their fruit this way!!!
You do the neatest things, I love your ideas and let me tell you, that strawberry fluff salad you gave us the recipe for a long time ago, we STILL make that all the time. Eveyone loves it
Aww thanks! 🙂 I just made it again yesterday!
My grand kids would love making AND eating these. What fun to decorate in sprinkles and such.
OMG these are so fun. Pinning for later!
Such a cute idea! I’ll have to look for a small heart shaped cutter.
YUM! I will make some chocolate covered bananas but I will have to just slice them. But I am sure they will taste just as great. Once someone pops them in their mouth they won’t notice that I don’t have any small cookie cutters! *Smile*
These are so cute! We make chocolate banana pops sometimes, I love these better though cause they are bite size, I would sprinkle them with coconut shavings on top.
I have done strawberries dipped in chocolate, but never bananas!! I have to try making these. They look so delicious! Thanks for the recipe.
These look so delicious. I would love to make them for my grandkids next Valentine’s day since they all love bananas as well as chocolate. I have covered strawberries and marshmallows in chocolate before but never thought to do the bananas. Thanks for the great idea.
Those are the cutest thing ever and so creative! I HAD to pin!
this looks yummy and easy to make!
These look delicious!! thanks for the post
I would never have thought of using a cookie cutter on a banana. That is amazing and so cute
My kids would enjoy these, they love the chocolate covered frozen bananas so this would be a hit
I have to give these a try
This is such a cute idea and what a great snack.
What a cute idea! I bet they taste great too!

Almost all of whatever you claim is astonishingly precise and it makes me ponder the reason why I had not looked at this with this light previously. Your article really did switch the light on for me personally as far as this particular subject goes. However there is one position I am not really too cozy with and whilst I make an effort to reconcile that with the main theme of your point, allow me observe exactly what the rest of the readers have to say.Well done.
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You clearly know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when you could be giving us something informative to read?
Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your article seem to be running off the screen in Safari. I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know. The layout look great though! Hope you get the problem resolved soon. Thanks
