Happy Wednesday! Yep, it’s Hump Day, and we deserve a little treaty treat, don’t ya think? How about something cool and sweet, and easy to make? Yes, please.
YUM!
Mmmm! Gooey, melted chocolate dripped over a sweet, ripe banana and frozen = a perfect summer treat!
Chocolate Banana Pops
Ingredients:
2 ripe bananas
1 cup of chocolate chips (milk, dark, or semi-sweet, based on your preference)
1 tablespoon of coconut oil (optional, helps in smoothing the chocolate)
Toppings of your choice (sprinkles, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, etc.)
Popsicle sticks or skewers
Instructions:
Prepare the Bananas:
Peel the bananas and cut them in thirds or fourths, whatever you prefer.
Insert a popsicle stick or skewer into each banana piece.
Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil.
Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Dip the Bananas:
Hold the banana by the stick and dip it into the melted chocolate, covering it completely.
Let any excess chocolate drip off back into the bowl.
Add Toppings:
Immediately sprinkle your desired toppings over the chocolate-covered bananas while the chocolate is still wet.
Freeze:
Place the chocolate-covered bananas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Freeze for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate is firm and the bananas are fully frozen.
Enjoy:
Once frozen, your chocolate banana pops are ready to enjoy! You can store any leftovers in a sealed container in the freezer. YUM!
CHEERS!
