In several easy steps!!
CHOCOLATE COVERED FROZEN BANANAS
First peel your bananas and compost the peels (or throw them out if you must)
Next cut all your bananas in half and place on a try/cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper
Grab a bunch of your kids craft sticks
Very carefully insert sticks into bananas about 1/2 -3/4 of the way, taking care not to split bananas.
Melt some chocolate of your choice-I used semi sweet choc chips. You can melt in a double boiler on the stove or in the microwave but be careful not to burn it. Use 1/2 the power and stir often.
Dip or frost bananas with the melted chocolate and sprinkle with nuts, coconut, sprinkles, wheat germ…..
Place decorated bananas back on trays and put in the freezer.
Once bananas are frozen they can be placed into a tubby or zip lock for easier storage in the freezer.
And on a different note-Meet Grizzly the 1, 118 lb Blue Ribbon Winner of The Ohio State Fair.
He really does not look comfortable. Grizzly along with a mama pig nursing her 9 piglets and a closer look at all the Art in the Fine Arts Building were the highlights of my return visit to Theee Fair this evening.
