Chocolate Dipped Frozen Bananas

Well it is finally summer. Or that is what the calender says anyway. Still haven't seen a whole lot of sun around here, but here's hoping. 
I finally decided to start making some summer treats in hopes that the warm sun will show up eventually.

These chocolate dipped frozen bananas are so easy and sooooooo good!
They take no time at all to make, they look cute and taste great!
Plus you don't have to feel too guilty about eating a lot of them cause it is a banana, what is bad about a banana!

Here is how you do it,
Take some bananas, peel them and stick a Popsicle stick or wooden skewer in them.
Put them in the freezer until they are firm. This should only take a couple hours.


Melt some chocolate. You can use milk or semisweet or dark, whatever you like best!



Get a few toppings ready, I used crushed peanuts, sprinkles and some toffee candy coating stuff! yum! 

Take the frozen banana and dip it in the melted chocolate, tap off any excess, then roll in the toppings. You will have to work pretty fast the chocolate will start to set up once it touches the cold banana.

Fun hey!
My favorite is the crushed peanuts! 


I hope it gets warmer soon cause I am tired of eating these huddled under a blanket with my heating pad on! 



You will love them! Make some today!! 
Happy Summer Everybody!

  1. Thanks a lot, Jen. I just sat down for the first time in hours and what do I see here? A shiny new post in my reader and it's filled with chocolate goodness! I am so tempted to go start all over again in the kitchen, but nope, I'm done for tonight. Any chance you want to deliver those?

  2. Oh, and for the record, our high today was 112. It's just wrong that you even own a heating pad. I can not imagine.

  5. P.S. = Which do you think would be better to use for this: pretty ripe softer bananas, or not-too-ripe firmer bananas?

  6. Hey B. I used just regular ripe bananas. Really soft ones might be hard to work with! I just might eat 12 right now!!
