“Now here’s the story of a wealthy family who lost everything, and the one son who had no choice but to keep them all together. It’s…….”
The 4th season of Arrested Development!!!!! Finally being released on Netflix this Sunday night at midnight!
My friends and I are going to pretend like we’re college students and stay up all night to watch. Bring on the coffee!
Seriously, though, after years and years of rumors about a reunion, I am ridiculously excited to be reunited with the Michael, George Michael, Tobias, Lindsey, Maebe, G.O.B., Buster, and my favorite character ever — Lucille, who would probably think that these salted chocolate frozen banana bites cost about $200. Love the Bluths!!!
So today, a group of my blogger friends and I are celebrating all things Arrested Development with our own “arresting” recipes. I of course had to pay tribute to the famous banana stand. (“There’s always money in the banana stand!”) But instead of awkward chocolate frozen bananas, I decided to go with some slightly cuter “bites”, covered in dark chocolate magic shell and sprinkled with a little coarse sea salt. I have to admit these were my first time to try actual frozen bananas, and they are surprisingly good!! There’s something about the texture that gets perfectly sweet and chewy when they are frozen that my friends and I loved!!! Maybe the Bluths were onto something…
Be sure to check out my friends’ recipes, listed below, and tune in on Netflix this weekend for the big premiere!!! I can’t wait!
Salted Chocolate Frozen Banana Bites
Ingredients
- 3 ripe (but not soggy) bananas
- 1 batch homemade magic shell (made with dark chocolate and coconut oil)
- coarse sea salt
- cocktail forks or toothpicks
Instructions
- Cut the bananas into your desired size of bites. (Mine were about 1 inch long.) Place on a foil- or parchment-covered baking sheet. Then poke them with the cocktail forks. Freeze for at least 2 hours or until frozen.
- Remove and dip each banana in the magic shell until covered. (You can dip all the way, or just halfway.) Sprinkle with sea salt and place back on cold baking sheet until dried.
- Serve immediately or re-freeze.

Ok, I don’t even have a good relationship with bananas and I think these look amazing. Seriously.
I’m totally loving the sprinkling of salt on these. Gonna have to make these with my kids ASAP!
I wonder how many of these I could eat?! Hmmmmm… {yum!}
These look so simple and delicious, perfect treat for my nephew :)
Simple yet cute presentation. I think the sprinkle of salt is perfect.
I could not be more excited about the return of AD! And these banana bites are too cute! I could just gobble these up in seconds!
I don’t think I’ve ever tried a frozen banana.. or making my own magic shell, but this recipe looks so good and simple. I think I’ll be making them for a party I have coming up!
Sounds Fun! Shout out if you want some more company. There have been about 5 people who have denied that I have a pulse when I say that I’ve never seen it. And since a pulse is necessary for survival, I’m thinking I’d better be checking this show out pretty darn soon.Otherwise I will find a way to watch it up here. Have a blest!
Love these! I’ve actually been working on some chocolate frozen bananas for the premier tonight too :) Love your idea of using salt on top!
So funny!
