Frozen Chocolate Banana Pops

You know, now of days with the economy, it is so hard to find work. There are numerous job opportunities, but when you apply you might be applicant #254. That is something I have experienced myself. Never get discouraged, where one door closes, one will open again, in time.

Then after you think of all that, you just need something to make you feel good, like chocolate.
Lets throw a healthy twist on it though, bananas.  Today I'm going to share how to make chocolate banana pops. You can use any kind of chocolate and decorations on these, just have fun.

You will love this, when you bite into these pops and get the crunch from the chocolate and the soft center of banana Mm Mm. If you leave them out for about 5 minutes or so the bananas start to soften in the middle, not frozen hard but a perfect texture.

Frozen Chocolate Banana Pops

Ingredients:
2 large bananas(peel & cut each one in 4 pieces)
chocolate candy disks (like Wilton candy melts, merkens disks or chocolate bark)
decorations(like,chopped nuts,candy sprinkles, mini mini marshmallows etc.)
8 sucker sticks (or Popsicle sticks,I used Wilton sucker sticks cut in 1/2)

First take each piece of banana and place a stick in the center of the banana. Place on a dish on put in freezer. Now take the chocolate and place it in a small microwave bowl  and microwave until melted(about 2 minutes). You may want to check after 1 minute. When melted, get the bananas out of the freezer. Place all ingredients on working area. First take the banana and dip it in the chocolate, swirl it in chocolate until completely cover.  Then spin the stick to get off excess chocolate. Next place the decorations on the chocolate while its still wet. Then place banana back on plate. When completely done place dish back in the freezer till ready to serve.

You can plate these on a platter in a circle or however you like. These were also able to stand up right but I chose to lay them on the plate. Individually wrap these in clear or decorated party bags and tie with a ribbon. You could even make the banana slices smaller like bite size and use tooth picks. Those would be great for appetizer


Remember, have fun and make it yours.

And that's the "DISH" for today!
