Put one spoonful of chocolate mixture into a 20cm deep round tin then a spoonful of banana in next to it. Repeat multiple times until all the mixture is in the tin. You should now have a spotty pattern. Take a metal skewer and draw figure-eights in the mixture. It should now have a marbled look.step 9
