This summer, I have vowed to try and make fun and different snacks for my kids. Getting creative in the kitchen and bringing back some classics. I got an email the other night, and it had chocolate covered bananas pictured in it . . .I thought - YUM!
So I set out to make a batch.
What You Need
3 Bananas (more or less depending on your crowd)
Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips
Popcicle or craft sticks
Coconut, Nuts or Sprinkles (optional)
Knife, Baking Sheet, Parchment Paper
What You Do
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel your bananas and slice them in half.
- Gently insert the craft sticks into the round end, pushing about half way in.
- Melt some chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl (I do mine on 30 second intervals).
- Stir up the melted chocolate to get it nice and smooth.
- Holding the banana by the stick, drop chocolate over it, covering about 2/3s of the banana.
- Lie the chocolate covered banana on your baking sheet.
- Repeat, melting more chocolate if you run out.
- If you want, you can sprinkle the covered bananas with shredded coconut, chopped nuts and/or sprinkles. I bet chopped pretzel or peanut butter chips would be yummy too.
- Slide the tray into your freezer to let the chocolate set - about 10 minutes.
What snacks are you enjoying this summer?
catch you soon -
This looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I could make with Organic bananas and chocolate too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting our blog! I make Frozen bananas ALL the time. Except I cut them up in discs. I put them in the freezer and them pull them out and eat them with a bit of Cool Whip for a snack or I throw them in the Magic Bullet when I am making a smoothie! ~M
ReplyDeleteThat's a GREAT idea - thanks for sharing!!
DeleteI don't eat bananas but my daughter would probably LOVE this. Chocolate = yum and happiness! I would just eat that part. ;)
