How to Make Banana Split Bites:
Step 1: Prep the bananas
Peel your bananas and cut them into 2–3 inch pieces. Make sure they’re firm and not too ripe so they hold their shape.
Step 2: Melt the chocolate
Melt your candy melts or chocolate discs according to the package directions until smooth and silky.
Step 3: Dip and decorate
Dip each banana piece halfway into the melted chocolate, then immediately roll the dipped end in sprinkles. Place on a parchment-lined tray.
Step 4: Let them set
Allow the chocolate to set and harden for about 10 minutes at room temperature or in the fridge.
Step 5: Top with whipped cream
Spoon or pipe a small dollop of whipped topping on top of each banana piece.
Step 6: Add a cherry on top
Place a halved maraschino cherry on top of the whipped cream for the perfect finishing touch!
