Ingredients

  • 100 g white chocolate
  • 8 small green grapes
  • 2 bananas (the straighter the better)
  • 25 g desiccated coconut

Instructions

  • Start by breaking the chocolate into pieces and popping it into a microwavable bowl (the smaller the better). I used white chocolate buttons to speed up the process.
  • Break or cut all of the bamboo skewers in half, trimming off any splintered ends with kitchen scissors.
  • With the pointy end of one of the skewers, make a hole in the centre of each mini cupcake case.
  • Peel the bananas and trim of the ends. Cut each banana into 4 equal pieces.
  • Thread a grape onto each skewer, then put a cupcake case upside down over the grape (the grape will stop the banana from sliding down the skewer). Place a piece of banana onto each skewer on top of the upside-down cupcake case.
  • Dip the banana into the chocolate to coat the top half, then sprinkle all over with desiccated coconut.
  • Leave in a cool place to set, then serve.
