Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Put the chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in between each, until smooth and pourable.
  • Cut the bananas into 1/4-inch rounds and toss them with most of the walnuts in a medium bowl. (Reserve some nuts for the top.)
