Frosty Chocolate-Dipped Bananas
Chocolate banana pops on a plate
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients:
  • 3 firm, but ripe bananas
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • Sprinkles or crushed nuts (optional)
  • Wooden sticks or lollipop sticks

Directions:

  1. Wash hands with soap and water. Line a baking sheet* with wax paper and set aside. Gently wash bananas under cold running water.
  2. Peel and cut the bananas in half. Poke each piece of banana with a stick and set on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in the microwave at 15–20 second intervals, stirring between each time until smooth.
  4. Dip the banana in the chocolate or hold the banana over a bowl and spoon chocolate over the top. Once coated in chocolate, roll the banana in the sprinkles or crushed nuts, if desired. Place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with each banana.
  5. Put the pops in the freezer for at least two hours or until frozen.
Notes: 

*Keep your freezer space in mind. You may need to use a small plastic container to hold the banana pops if you are short on freezer space.
