1. Boonanas!

Bananas are delicious and nutritious fruit that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. While they are often eaten fresh, bananas can also be used in baking or cooked into dishes such as banana bread or pancakes. Bananas are a good source of dietary fibre and potassium, and they can help you regulate blood sugar levels.

One fun way to enjoy bananas is to dip them in chocolate. The combination of sweet, creamy bananas and rich, dark chocolate is irresistible. You can dip bananas in store-bought chocolate sauce or make your own using just a few simple ingredients. Either way, this is a treat that is sure to please both kids and adults alike.

Once all of the cookies are dipped, place them on a sheet of parchment paper and sprinkle them with sprinkles. Let the Mint Slice Biscuits set for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.

Then enjoy! These Chocolate Witches’ Hats are delicious and sure to be a hit with family and friends.
