Just curious where you got the wooden skewers for the chocolate almond banana bites?
Thank you
Hi Sharon! I just got those at my local dollar store :) they’re cute more like skewer like that… Any wooden pick would work though. Have a great day! Ruthie
those look delicious and I can’t wait to make them. Do you do anything to keep the bananas from browning?
Enjoying them frozen helps to slow the browning and if they stay around for a few weeks they may begin to turn but if your like my family they will quickly be gone :). Ruthie
Easy and delicious – this is my favourite. I think to cover the whole banana bite with chocolate to prevent it from getting brown.
And the more chocolate the better :) xoxo~ Ruthie
Banana with chocolate! You can’t go wrong with this combination… Your bites look very cute, Ruthie.
Perfect idea for party bites. I`ll probably make 2 kinds of these bites. One with nuts and the other with white chocolate. Thank you for the inspiration.
I am in love in this banana bites. So delicious taste it!
