Homemade Banana Sweet Directions:
- Peel and slice the ripe bananas into small pieces.
- Place the banana pieces in a blender with the lime juice and just enough water to blend into a smooth paste; if a blender isn’t available, mash the bananas thoroughly with a fork.
- In a large pan, combine the banana paste with the cocoa powder and cook over medium heat while stirring continuously until the mixture reaches your desired consistency (soft for a topping or firm enough to form candy blocks).
- Grease a glass dish with oil and spread the cooked mixture evenly, adjusting the thickness as desired. Allow the dish to cool at room temperature and let it set for at least one day.
- Once set, remove the candy from the dish and place it on a lightly oiled wooden board sprinkled with demerara sugar; cut into pieces and coat each piece with additional demerara sugar for a sweet, crunchy finish.
