Ingredients
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips (50-60% cocoa)

Instructions
1. Heat a cup of water in a saucepan over medium heat. Place a bowl that’s larger than the pan opening with chocolate chips on top and allow the steam to slowly heat the chocolate.
2. Using food tweezers or tongs, dip the banana pieces in the melted chocolate, then dip in hazelnuts, freeze-dried strawberries or leave plain. Place on parchment paper until chocolate has solidified, then keep these treats frozen in a freezer-safe container.
