Note

For storage: If not serving immediately, wrap the coated bananas tightly in moisture-resistant plastic wrap or foil and return to the freezer. They can be stored for up to a week.

Tip: Ensure bananas are completely frozen solid before coating to prevent the chocolate syrup from melting too quickly and the crumbs from sliding off.

Variation: Use vegan chocolate syrup to keep the recipe strictly plant-based. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon to the graham cracker crumbs for extra warmth.
