Banana Split on a Stick
Feel free to dress up yours with the toppings of your choice, including whipped cream, shredded coconut, and of course, a cherry!
Ingredients
- 4 large bananas, ripe but firm
- 8 wooden popsicle sticks
- ¼ cup granola cereal OR finely chopped salted peanuts
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Optional: whipped cream and cherries for garnish
Instructions
- Peel, then cut each banana in half horizontally and insert the wooden stick into each half. Place in a freezer bag or sealed container and stash in freezer until frozen, about 3 hours.
- Spread out granola (or peanuts) on a flat surface, such as a shallow dish, cutting board or baking sheet.
- Melt the chocolate chips by placing them in a microwave-safe bowl and microwaving for 30 seconds, stirring, and continuing this same routine for 15-second increments until chocolate is velvety smooth. Carefully dip each of the frozen bananas into the chocolate, twirling to coat at least the top half.
- Then immediately roll in the granola or chopped peanuts.
Notes
Serve or place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and stash in the freezer for future treats.
For a fun serving presentation, I like to lay the pops on an individual banana split tray and top each with a squirt of whipped cream and cherry.
