Prepare the Bananas: Begin by peeling the ripe bananas and cutting them in half, creating the perfect size for your penguin shapes. Dip in Chocolate: Take one banana half and dip the top side (the narrower end) into melted dark chocolate. This will form the penguin’s head and body. Create the Penguin Face: While the chocolate is still soft, gently press two M and M onto the chocolate-covered part of the banana to represent the eyes. Add another M and M positioned vertically between the eyes to form the penguin’s beak.
Chocolate Coating for the Bottom: With a teaspoon, drizzle melted dark chocolate onto the bottom side of the banana. This will act as the penguin’s belly. Add the Penguin Feet: To make the penguin feet, cut a couple of M and M in half. Place them at the bottom of the chocolate-coated side, flat part down, to create the feet. Freeze for Firmness: Place the completed banana penguins on a sheet of tin foil or a baking tray and put them in the freezer for approx. 20 to 30 minutes. This allows the chocolate to set, giving your penguins a firm and delightful texture. Time to Enjoy Once the chocolate has hardened, take out the banana penguins from the freezer. Your delicious and charming snacks are now ready to be enjoyed!
