banana pops.

the other day i made banana pops while the boys were at art class.  they are so ridiculously easy to make that i feel silly typing out the directions, but here goes anyway!


                                 1. put on good music to listen to while playing in the kitchen.

                                                            2. cut bananas into thirds.

3. put a stick into each third.   

                           
                              4. put them on a tray covered in wax paper and place in freezer.

                                     
                                            5. remove them from freezer after 20-30 minutes.

       6. melt chocolate chips ( i didn't measure how many chocolate chips, i just grabbed a handful)
                             in microwave. i heat in 30 second intervals, stirring in between them.

                    7. once, melted, dip banana into chocolate and return to wax-papered tray.

                                8. add whatever topping you'd like (i chose rainbow sprinkles.)

i returned mine into the freezer for about two hours, and then let them thaw for a few minutes before eating and they were perfect... they tasted just like banana flavored ice cream with chocolate!

such a fun, easy summer treat.

enjoy!
