Frozen Chocolate-Covered Banana Popsicles!

Alright, so summer is finally here; thus, it is time for healthy-ish summer snacks.  The best snack during the summer months is definitely fruit, but if you get all watermelon, cantaloupe, and honey-dewed out then here’s a nice cool treat you can try.

Ingredients:

Banana

Chocolate

Coconut Oil

Popsicle Sticks/Stir Sticks

Directions:

-Melt ¾ chocolate to ¼ coconut oil via double boiler method...

-Peel bananas then put a popsicle stick in it (you can also cut the banana in half if wanted)

-Either dip banana in the chocolate or drizzle chocolate over the banana

                -At this point you could sprinkle the chocolate with shredded coconut (or sprinkles so the kiddies think it’s cool).

-Lay the bananas down on a baking sheet and pop it in the freezer for an hour.

-Don’t try to lift the banana from the sheet by the stick – you’ll probably just crack your frozen banana, instead gently scrape the chocolate on the sheet around the banana until it is no longer stuck, or let it thaw for a few minutes then remove from the sheet.

These are definitely healthier than those freeze-ez or popsicles that are LOADED with sugar, and a tad more filling! They were a hit in my house, gobbled down as soon as they came out of the freezer.

Enjoy!
