Chocolate Covered Banana Popsicles

July 24, 2012

When I was a kid I loved banana popsicles.

Not the all-natural banana popsicles, but the artificially flavored and colored, tastes like a banana Runt, banana popsicles, specifically these.

Since I don’t live near a store that sells these popsicles anymore and because I am trying to eat more homemade foods, I don’t really get to enjoy those popsicles of my childhood very often anymore; that is except for every time I go home and visit my Mom, then she has a freezer stocked with them. ; )

Now as an adult, I have a more sophisticated taste and like I said, am trying to do more of the homemade thang.

So popsicles made with real bananas, covered in rich chocolate, rolled in crunchy toppings, now that’s a banana popsicle I puffy heart love!

I don’t know whoever thought to cover fruit (strawberries, bananas, apples) in chocolate, but it is the most sinfully pleasing, makes you feel less guilty for devouring chocolate, snack ever. While the concept is simple, the possibilities are endless. My banana pop pictured is simply white chocolate and colorful sprinkles, but take note of some of my suggestions below and go crazy with your frozen banana pop concoctions!

    My kids love frozen chocolate bananas! We haven't made them in awhile, though – I should take some of your suggestions and make them with my kids again!
