Fruit and chocolate: a combination that can never go wrong. I love combining fruit and chocolate for a snack or desert…and I always convince myself that the fruit balances out the unhealthy chocolate!
I have seen recipes for banana pops many times over the years and finally decided to give them a try. I was not disappointed with the outcome. Not only are these super easy to make, they will last a couple days in your freezer so you can grab one for a snack during the week. Try experimenting with different toppings, like coconut, nuts, graham crackers, candy or sprinkles!
All you need is:
- Bananas
- Sticks (popsicle sticks work best)
- Chocolate to melt (chocolate chips or almond bark)
- Toppings of your choice
1. Cut the bananas in half, or smaller if you want and place in freezer for one hour.
2. Melt the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl
3. Hold bananas over bowl of chocolate and using a spoon, drip chocolate over the bananas until covered
4. Roll bananas in toppings
5. Return bananas to the freezer for at least 1 hour before serving
6. If you have time, dip marshmallows in the leftover chocolate for another simple treat
Enjoy!
