Frozen Chocolate Covered Bananas

Servings 12-16 Banana Pops
Frozen Chocolate Covered Bananas
6-8 firm, yellow bananas*
1 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or morsels or one 12-oz bag
1 1/2 cup white chocolate chips or morsels or one 12-oz bag
2 tablespoons of heavy cream, divided
1 bag crushed Midnight Mini Cookies
Popcicle sticks or cocktail sticks
*Note: Use bananas that are firm and fully yellow for easier slicing and dipping.

Directions

 

  1. Peel the bananas and slice them in half. Alternatively, trim them to better fit your sticks if they are a little small.
  2. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Insert sticks into each banana piece, place them on the tray, and freeze for at least 3 hours.
  3. In two tall, microwave-safe glasses, pour in either the dark chocolate chips or the white chocolate chips plus 1 tablespoon of heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth. This took about two minutes or six cycles. If your chocolate seizes up on you, just add a small splash of room temperature water to thin it out until you get the consistency of pancake batter. 
  4. Remove the frozen bananas from the freezer. Dip each piece into either the dark chocolate or white chocolate, then immediately roll in the crushed Midnight Mini Cookies. 
  5. Return the dipped bananas to the baking tray. The chocolate should harden quickly due to the frozen fruit, approximately two minutes. 
  6. Enjoy immediately, or wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store in the freezer for up to two weeks.
