3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons banana extract(found in most grocery stores with the vanilla extract)

Chocolate Coating Ingredients

2 cups milk chocolate melties
In a saucepan on low heat melt the chocolate melties; stirring constantly. 
Once almost all of them have melted remove from heat and continue to stir for 3 minutes. 
Transfer your melted chocolate into a deep bowl. 
Dip the icing portion of your cupcake into the milk chocolate. 
Shake lightly a few times to get the extra chocolate off of the top before you move it to a baking sheet to harden.
