Chocolate dipped banana bites is a quick snack recipe. Made of just two ingredients, this simple treat is healthy and delicious. Chocolate is a rich source of metabolism-boosting MUFAs (MonoUnsaturated Fatty Acids-MUFAs are a healthy type of fat) and bananas are the richest source of resistant starch, hence the result tends this dessert to a weight loss winner.
These frozen treats don’t require a whole lot of effort and are great to keep on hand for a quick grab. In just a few minutes and with minimal ingredients (2 ingredients), anybody can have these banana bites dipped in chocolate ready to place in freezer.

It is an interesting recipe but I have a question. I am a sweet-tooth and a big chocloate lover. I love all kinds of chocolate but I prefer milk chocolate more than other kinds. Is it important to use only dark chocolate or it doesn't matter?
