Today is National Something on a Stick Day, and what better way to celebrate the “holiday” than to create Chocolate-Dipped Frozen Bananas. These are the perfect snack for your kids when they come home after school or a fun activity to make together.
Chocolate-Dipped Frozen Bananas
Makes 8
Ingredients
- 8 organic bananas, peeled
- 8 wooden sticks or skewers
- 32 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped or chips
- 1/3 cup chopped salted peanuts, sprinkles, granola, crushed cookies, toasted coconut or any desired topping
Instructions
- Line wax paper in a sheet pan
- Cut 1-inch off the end of each banana and insert a wooden skewer or 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
- Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over (not in) a pan of gently simmering water. Stir just until melted
- Handling one banana at a time, dip it in the chocolate until it is completely covered
- On a flat dish covered in your choice of topping, roll the dipped banana, transfer to the sheet pan, and return to the freezer; you may sprinkle your topping on the banana if you desire
- Once frozen, store the bananas in an airtight container
- Enjoy!
