Spring Sweets

 
Hot days call for cool treats! Try making this sweet and cheap custom treat instead of the typical ice cream bar or popsicle. It's sure to be a hit with kids and adults too! The steps are below:
  • Cut 2 bananas in half, insert popsicle holders or sticks.
  • Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1 tsp. shortening over low heat.
  • Coat bananas in chocolate.
Makes 4 servings

*The chocolate will harden quickly, so you can serve immediately or freeze for later.

For a fun variation: after coating with chocolate, you can roll the banana in the following:
  • Chopped nuts (I used peanuts in the ones pictured)
  • Toasted coconut
  • Chopped candy bar
  • Sprinkles
  • Crushed cookies (Nutter Butters, Oreos, etc.)
