Frozen Banana Pops

Turn this simple fruit into something spectacular!

Makes 12 banana pops

6 bananas
1/2 cup candy sprinkles
1/2 cup chopped nuts
12 popsicle sticks

For the chocolate dipping sauce
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/8 cup margarine or vegetable shortening
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1  Cut bananas in half crosswise. Insert a popsicle stick into each base. Freeze overnight.

2  Make the chocolate dipping sauce: In a pan over low heat, melt ingredients. Keep warm.

3  Peel frozen bananas. Dip in chocolate dipping sauce. Dress with candy sprinkles and chopped nuts. Allow to set.

Prepping tip: Speed is required for this project! Make sure to work fast when dipping the bananas in the chocolate sauce because it sets quickly.

Substitution tip: White chocolate chips can also be used in place of chocolate chips.
