| Makes approx 6 Sweetness - 1/3 Difficulty - 2/3 2 bananas, not overly ripe 1/4 cup natural peanut butter 1 cup organic dark chocolate chips crushed unsalted peanuts, to coat dash of oil 6 ice pop sticks |
| Cut the banana into 3" sections. Insert an ice pop stick over halfway into each one. Place on a large plate and put in the freezer for two or three hours to harden. Depending on how oily your peanut butter is, you may want to put it in the freezer for 10-30 minutes before you use it as well. When bananas are frozen, remove from the freezer. Try to avoid handling them with their sticks. Spread a layer of peanut butter over the sides of each piece, avoiding the top and bottom. Once messily coated, you can smooth it out by holding it at the top and bottom with your thumb and forefinger. Drag the knife around the sides, while rotating the banana. Put back in freezer for 30 minutes. Five minutes before you remove the bananas from the freezer, add the crushed peanuts to a small plate, and melt the chocolate chips in a saucepan over low heat. Stir with a spatula until melted and remove from heat. If the chocolate is thick, add a dash of oil to it. (Do not add water) Use the spatula to cover the banana with chocolate. Roll it in the peanuts or sprinkle them on top when it is still wet. Allow to dry for a few seconds before placing back on the plate. Freeze for another 30 minutes to set. Best served frozen, but also tastes great mushy! |
