For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate or a blend of dark and milk chocolate. Get creative with your toppings! Try chopped nuts, sprinkles, crushed cookies, or a drizzle of caramel or white chocolate. If the chocolate begins to harden while you are dipping, microwave it in short intervals to keep it smooth. To prevent the bananas from sticking to the wax paper, you can lightly grease the paper with coconut oil or cooking spray. Store leftover Monkey Tails in the freezer in an airtight container for up to a week.
