Banana skewers

I should have photographed these because they were fantastic, and you were so proud of them. Next time...

Makes enough for 3. You'll need

a couple of bananas, roughly cut into large slices
straws (or skewers - but straws are easier if you're only small)
100g (ish) of chocolate, preferably dark
a couple of tablespoons of dessicated coconut on a small plate

Break the chocolate into small pieces, and place in a small bowl. Stick in the microwave for short intervals (eg 15s) until the chocolate is melted - it helps if you keep stirring it in between the bursts.

Thread your banana piece on a straw/skewer. Drizzle over the melted chocolate, then roll the whole thing over the coconut so it sticks to the chocolate.

Stand each straw/skewer in a glass, and leave to harden. Eat as quickly as possible, so no one can pinch yours.
