Frozen Bananas

This is the absolute simplest of summer treat recipes, and it is actually quite healthy. Frozen bananas are covered with dark chocolate and rolled in nuts, for a cold, sweet, bitter and crunchy treat. They have it all!

Simple Ingredients

2-3 large bananas, 1 tbsp. peanut or almond butter, 1/4 cup dark chocolate (chips or broken bar, for melting), 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, 4 wooden craft sticks

Instruction

Cut bananas in half. Insert the stick into the cut part of the banana, ensuring it is in about half of the length. Freeze bananas on a tray for 3-5 hours. Melt chocolate and peanut butter in double burner. Stir to combine until completely smooth. Remove from heat. Note: the double burner is a pan of boiling water with a bowl placed over that has no contact with the water. The chocolate is then melted slowly in the bowl and not over direct heat. For this recipe, you will want a rather large bowl in order to be able to roll the bananas in the chocolate, once melted

Here is where you need to work quick. Have your nuts spread on a large and shallow enough plate that you can roll the banana, with the stick into the nuts. Roll each banana into the chocolate and VERY quickly into the nuts. If you work too slowly, the chocolate will harden and nuts will not stick

Freeze until nuts and chocolate are completely set on the bananas, roughly another 1 hour. Then, ENJOY!
