Ingredients

  • 8 medium bananas, peeled
  • 8 wooden popsicle sticks
  • 32 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped or chips
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions

Dipping decorations: granola, chopped nuts, sprinkles, jimmies, crushed cookies, and toasted coconut

Line a sheet pan with waxed paper. Cut 1-inch off the end of each banana. Insert a popsicle stick into the cut-end of each banana, pushing the stick halfway in, leaving the other end exposed for use as a handle. Place the bananas on the sheet pan and freeze 1 hour.

Melt the chocolate and butter in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally.

Arrange the dipping decorations on several flat plates. Working with 1 banana at a time, dip it in the chocolate and turn to completely coat (spoon some on, if needed). Roll the dipped banana in the desired decorations, transfer to the sheet pan, and return to the freezer.

Once frozen, store the bananas in an airtight container.

Serving suggestion: To serve at a kid's party, paint a hunk of styrofoam and stick the banana handles in the top, so they stand upright.

    Couple of Tips

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I'd like to add a couple of tips to this recipe that I've learned from experience. First, it's really important to let your... bananas ripen until they are covered with *small* brown spots. That ensures that their sugar level is optimal. Next, when you freeze them, don't place them in a plastic bag. Doing so will cause the moisture that evaporates from them to crystallize on the bananas. This will melt into the chocolate when you dip them and quickly coagulate the chocolate. We makes tons of frozen bananas at Totally Bananas, Inc. If you wish, take a look at our web site: http://www.totally-bananas.net. Read more

    VERY Frustrating

    Rated: 1 stars out of 5
    The butter and chocolate was a mess! A normally calm person was wanting to curse in the kitchen! Provide better directions... for the butter and chocolate. Next time I'll use the chocolate ration of paraffin wax to choc. chips (1 oz wax per 12 oz chips) instead. Oh well, my kids will probably still eat what now looks like a science project in my freezer!Read more

    Not enough butter

    Rated: 2 stars out of 5
    I made this and I needed to add much more butter to get the chocolate to a dipping consistency. Otherwise yummy. O, but I did... halve the bananas before I speared them so the servings were smaller for little ones.Read more

    good recipe

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    good recipe but she doesn't go in depth on how to handle chocolate. if you are knew to handling chocolate, this may be... difficult. First, you need to melt the butter with the chocolate so that they melt evenly. Also, make sure you use a double boiler or one pan set over another pan with about 1 inch of water in the bottom pan, this will prevent overcooking the chocolate. Also, make sure that no water gets in to the chocolate mixture or it will cause it to seize or clump up, but can be fixed by adding a few teaspoons of oil to the chocolate. Lastly, make sure not to overcook the chocolate, which will also cause it to seize. To prevent overcooking, cook over a double boiler on medium heat stirring occasionally and remover the chocolate from the heat just before all the pieces are melted.Read more
