RECIPE: Chocolate, Peanut Butter & Almond-Covered Banana Popsicles

Yield: Approx. 8

Prep Time: 5

Cook Time: 10

Total Time: 15

Ingredients:

3 to 4 bananas, peeled and halved
1/2 cup melted dark chocolate chips
2 tablespoons peanut butter (I always use Adam's since it only contains peanuts!)
Chopped almonds or other nuts (Optional)
Popsicles sticks

Directions:

Peel and halve bananas.

Insert popsicle sticks into each banana half and place on a lined cookie sheet or plate.

Place chocolate chips and peanut butter in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between each heating. Be careful not to overheat since this burns the chocolate. Set aside to cool for approx. 2 min.

Dip banana into the melted chocolate-peanut butter mixture and, using a spoon, pour the mixture over the banana to coat as you please.

If using chopped almonds, immediately sprinkle onto chocolate before it sets.

Chill chocolate-covered bananas for approx. 10 minutes.

As always, ENJOY! :)

    I love that you’ve combined chocolate and peanut butter here! I’m going to have to make a batch of these and have them on hand in the freezer. So much better for you than an iced cream treat!

    Hi Laura! I just found your blog through Foodgawker. I am in love with these banana popsicles. What a healthy treat… especially all those almonds! They must provide a great texture with the creamy frozen banana and rich dark chocolate. I love your blog! xo, Sally

    I’ve made these a lot. It’s so versatile and you can pretty much use any topping. My kids love sprinkles :-)

    We used to make these when I was a kid. We did them a bit opposite. Peeled, halved bananas, insert sticks and freeze. Then pull out of freezer and dip in melted chocolate and nuts. Being frozen, the chocolate sets up in a snap! I’m sure this way is terrific too! Thanks for posting – I needed the reminder for these!

    My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .
    net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
    But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on a number of websites for
    about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform.
    I have heard excellent things about blogengine.
    net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it?
    Any kind of help would be really appreciated!
