Chocolate-Dipped Frozen Bananas
recipe and picture from FoodNetwork.com
4 medium bananas, peeled and cut in half
8 wooden popsicle sticks
32 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped or chips
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
*Dipping decorations: granola, chopped nuts, sprinkles, jimmies, crushed cookies, and toasted coconut
1. Line a sheet pan with waxed paper. Cut bananas in half (or use the whole banana's for adults, but cut about 1" off end of banana). Insert a popsicle stick into the cut-end of each banana, pushing the stick halfway in, leaving the other end exposed for use as a handle. Place the bananas on the sheet pan and freeze 1 hour.
2. Melt the chocolate and butter in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally or melt according to package directions.
3. Arrange the dipping decorations on several flat plates. Working with 1 banana at a time, dip it in the chocolate and turn to completely coat (spoon some on, if needed). Roll the dipped banana in the desired decorations, transfer to the sheet pan, and return to the freezer.
4. Once frozen, store the bananas in an airtight container.
Serving suggestion: To serve at a kid's party, paint a hunk of styrofoam and stick the banana handles in the top, so they stand upright.
Enjoy,
The Mommy of 6 <3
