Frozen Chocolate-Covered Bananas
My mom and I used to make these in the summer time!. They're so easy and delicious!. I don't have a specific recipe, but this is what we do:
Peel the bananas and cut them in half!. Push a popsicle stick into the cut end!. Dip the bananas in the melted chocolate (see note below) and place banana on a cookie sheet lined with wax or parchment paper!. You could do a second dip into the chocolate for a thicker coating or you could roll the banana in whatever you want - crushed oreo cookies, nuts, sprinkles, candy bits, let your imagination run wild! Once you're done dipping/rolling all the bananas and they are on the cookie sheet, but them in the freezer for a few hours!. Once they are solid, you can transport them to a container that seals!.
When melting the chocolate (we use a good semi-sweet dark chocolate to contrast the sweet banana), you can use a double boiler or just melt it in the microwave!. If you are melting it in the microwave, you should stir it every 10-20 seconds!. If it is kind of lumpy and getting smoother, add a little vegetable shortening (1/4 teaspoon or so at a time)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
