Combine sweet things with healthy fruit? It's child's play with homemade banana penguins!

What you need

24 orange chocolate chips

6 bananas

Juice of one lemon

150 ml dark chocolate

24 sugar balls or white chocolate chips

12 wooden skewers

Styrofoam or similar as a base

preparation

Step 1:

First, halve the orange chocolate chips with a sharp knife. Peel the bananas, halve them in the middle and stick a wooden skewer into the smooth side of each half. Squeeze the lemon and dip the banana halves in the juice so that they don't turn brown. Dab off any excess juice if necessary.

Step 2:

Melt the dark chocolate and dip the banana halves in the chocolate, first with the tip and then with the "back", so that the penguins' bellies remain white. Then place two sugar pearls or white chocolate chips on as eyes and paint the pupils with a small dab of dark chocolate.

Step 3:

Place the finished banana halves with the wooden skewer into a stable base, e.g. Styrofoam, and allow to dry for at least one to two hours.

Place half an orange chocolate chip under the eyes as a beak. Then dip two more halves in chocolate and place them on the cut end of the banana as feet.

Have fun trying it out!
