Afterschool Snacking: Chocolate Dipped Frozen Bananas

Chocolate Dipped Frozen Bananas, www.MomFavorites.com Guest Post by Susannah Brinkley
Hi everyone! I’m Susannah from Feast + West, and I’m delighted to be sharing my recipe for Chocolate Dipped Frozen Bananas with you today!

I’m always looking for ways to beat the heat. To be totally honest, I am not summer’s biggest fan. When it’s hot and humid, I am not a happy camper, so frozen treats are my go-to salvation for a hot day. It’s tempting to turn to sugary treats like ice cream and popsicles, but these Chocolate-Dipped Frozen Bananas are just as yummy. They’re also good for you and very easy to make.

The recipe is pretty simple: You’ll put popsicle sticks in banana halves, dip them in melted chocolate, drizzle them with toppings and freeze. The result is a cool treat that’s both healthy and refreshing. I love that you can try lots of toppings, but the chopped peanuts are my favorite! These frozen bananas are an awesome snack for adults, but they would also be fun to make with little ones! (Just be careful with the hot melted chocolate.)

Yields 10 to 12 frozen bananas

Ingredients

  • 5 to 6 bananas, peeled and cut in half
  • 12 ounces dark chocolate, melted over a double boiler
  • Popsicle sticks 

Topping ideas

  • Chopped peanuts
  • Chopped pistachios
  • Chopped almonds
  • Cocoa nibs
  • Sea salt
  • Sprinkles 

Instructions

  1. Melt chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave. Stir until entirely melted.
  2. Insert a popsicle stick into the end of each banana. Dip the bananas into the warm chocolate, gently shaking off any extra chocolate. Place dipped bananas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Spoon toppings over top of the dipped bananas. Place in the freezer to harden and set for 1-2 hours. When frozen through, eat or wrap the bananas individually. Store in the freezer until you’re ready to eat them.
