Recipe: Chocolate Covered Banana Pops
12:20 PM
Chocolate Covered Banana Pops
This recipe was a big hit at my parents house on Christmas Eve! The only note I have for this recipe is, at the time I did this recipe I did not have any popsicle sticks in the house so I ended up using plastic forks as you will see if you look closely at the picture above.
Small warning when eating these; Chocolate will be hard on the outside, but the banana on the inside will be fairly soft as bananas do not freeze completely.
The picture seen above is an actual picture I took of my completed pops, it is not taken from the internet or played with in anyway.
3 ripe large bananas
9 wooden popsicle sticks
2 cups (12 oz package) dark chocolate chips or semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tbsp shortening (do not use butter or margarine)
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped unsalted peanuts
1. Peel bananas; cut each into thirds. Insert wooden stick into each banana piece; place on wax paper covered tray. Cover; freeze until firm.
2. Place chocolate chips and shortening in medium microwave safe bowl. Microwave at medium 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth when stirred.
3. Remove bananas from freezer just before dipping. Dip each piece into warm chocolate, covering completely; allow excess to drip off. Immediately roll in peanuts. Cover; return to freezer. Serve frozen.
