6 ripe bananas

Peel and cut bananas into halves. Pierce wooden skewers through them, place them on butter paper and freeze for 2 hours. Melt chocolate in a double boiler or microwave, add olive oil. Keep stirring till the chocolate is completely melted and becomes one with olive oil. To melt chocolate in microwave, check and stir every 15 seconds. Let the chocolate come to room temperature, dip the bananas into it to coat them completely. Sprinkle with nuts or coloured sprinkles. Freeze another 2 hours or till bananas are frozen hard.
