Did you ever think to combine chocolate and banana? It’s delicious! |
|
| |
'Choco-banana' is a popular dessert in Japan. It's chocolate-covered banana decorated with chocolate sprinkles. At parties and other celebrations in Japan, there's usually some sort of food stand and, quite often, they'll serve choco-banana.
This dessert is delicious, but it's a little complicated to prepare at home since you have to melt the chocolate, dip the banana in it, etc. Takara Tomy has launched a kit to make it easier to make choco-banana at home.
