Skewered fresh fruit makes for easy eating, then drizzled them with melted dark chocolate, topped them with soft shredded coconut, salty chopped peanuts and served with creamy whipped cream on the side for fun dipping! ‍

With this board you can have your dessert and be healthy too! It is the best of both worlds. Plus, this easy summer treat can be done in 20 minutes or less. I decided to use melted dark chocolate that hardens as opposed to hot chocolate sauce because I wanted to eliminate the mess. In addition, when you sprinkle the toppings on the chocolate before it hardens, the toppings stay in place better.

I love banana splits, they remind me of my childhood when I used to take trips to Dairy Queen on hot summer days. But, one thing that I don’t love about banana splits is: the mess. Those childhood memories also bring back my ice cream melting, causing my boat to over flow with a cream and chocolate hot sauce mixture... and before I knew it, I found myself cleaning up this mess that was dripping everywhere or I was eating it so fast that I couldn’t enjoy the full experience. SAD.

This board is so fun and can be great for any occasion. It‘s perfect for those family friendly activities, a date night in, girls night or large gatherings. It makes for a pretty display and will definitely be a show stopper! You can truly indulge in this dessert without the guilt.
