How to make bananas in chocolate? Prepare the food to prepare the dish. I took dark chocolate, but anyone - both bitter and milky - would do. Take high-quality chocolate, the taste of the whole dish depends on its taste. One tile (and they are now mainly 90 grams) was enough for two large bananas, but a little glaze remained. Milk or cream can not be added, with them chocolate will turn out to be more liquid, it will be easier to apply it to a banana.

Peel the bananas and cut into roughly identical pieces. I have large fruits, I cut into three parts. If the bananas are small, then two pieces will suffice.

Tip pieces of bananas onto wooden sticks. These can be ice cream sticks, canape skewers or wooden skewers. But consider that the banana is quite a heavy fruit, and too thin sticks may not stand its weight and break.

Chop the nuts into small pieces. I took hazelnuts, but in general absolutely any - walnuts, peanuts, almonds, cashews are suitable. For a brighter taste, you can fry nuts a little in the pan.

Melt the chocolate. To do this, take a bowl and put chocolate in it, broken into pieces. Pour in the milk. Boil the water in a saucepan. Place a bowl of chocolate on a pan of boiling water. This is called a water bath. Note that the pot and bowl should fit and the water level should be below the bottom of the bowl. In a water bath, the chocolate will melt quickly and correctly.

Chocolate, from the heat of steam boiling in a pan of water, will very soon begin to melt. Using a spatula, mix it with milk until smooth - this makes a chocolate glaze. If it turns out to be too thick, add some more milk. Remove the finished glaze from the bath and cool a little.

Take a banana placed on a stick and spread chocolate glaze on it from all sides.

Sprinkle over a banana topped with chocolate, nuts or pastry sprinkles as desired.

Gently turn the glazed banana down with a stick and fix to something until dry. I took a bowl from the steamer. You can stick a wand into something soft. If the sticks are long, then just put the bananas in a glass. When the glaze is dry, transfer the bananas to a plate and place in the fridge. There, chocolate will set and bananas will be more convenient to eat.

Enjoy your meal!
