Frozen Chocolate-Coated Maple Banana Raspberry Bars

INGREDIENTS

BARS

2 frozen bananas, peeled, in chunks

2 cups raspberries, fresh or frozen

1/2 c almond or coconut milk

3 tbsp Fulton’s Organic Maple Syrup

1 tbsp lemon juice

5-6 mint leaves (optional)

COATING

1/3 c coconut oil

2 c dark or semi-sweet chocolate, chopped or chips

GARNISH

1/4 c Fulton’s Organic Maple Sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

BARS

Using an electric mixer, purée all bar ingredients until smooth. Pour into frozen bar moulds and close to insert sticks. Freeze at least 4 hours before coating.

COATING

In a small saucepan or microwave, melt coconut oil and chocolate. Stir until smooth. Pour into a cup or glass just larger than the diameter of the frozen bars. Let cool.

ASSEMBLY

Pour maple sugar onto a small plate. Dip each frozen bar into the chocolate mixture, turning to coat completely. Allow excess to drip off. Dip top third of each bar into the maple sugar, making them stick all around.

Enjoy immediately or put in a container and back into the freezer.
