Frozen Choclate Banana Pops

 September Stands for Spring, Salads, Sunshine AND LOTS OF SPRING-BABY PARTIES!!!! and as winter reluctantly gives way..(to most, this is a blessing) we are presenting Frozen banana chocolate pops!!!  (For those who love the winter-time...there's always the south pole??? ) Anyway back to spring:-) . I don't know about you guys, but I  cannot wait for hot, balmy days when I can sink my teeth into something cold and refreshing.  (Bring on the Solstice!)
You notice: I am sick of SOUP! Also it doesn't grab the attention of party-goers as well as these would! A great Party activity too Most little ones would have their own ideas on decorating their 'nana!

TO DO!

Ingredients and Materials:

3 bananas not overly ripe
150 g semi-sweet chocolate
150 g white chocolate
3 tsp shortening- margarine or butter
Rainbow sprinkles
Chocolate sprinkles
6 popsicle sticks
Parchment paper
Measuring spoons
2 small bowls
2 spoons
Cutting board
Recipe makes 6 chocolate banana pops.

Directions:


Chocolatebanana Step1 
Step 1: Peel the bananas and cut each in half. Push a popsicle stick part way through the cut end of the banana so it looks like a popsicle. Set the popsicles on a cutting board or plastic plate, and place them in the freezer while you prepare the remaining ingredients. Having the bananas cold will help the chocolate harden faster.

Step 2: Lay a sheet of parchment paper on the counter. Set out sprinkles. Put semi-sweet chocolate and 1½tsp of shortening in a bowl. Microwave the chocolate at 100% power for 30 seconds. Stir and repeat. Repeat a third time, if necessary, until the chocolate is completely melted. Repeat the process with the white chocolate.

Step 3: Take 1 banana out of the freezer at a time. Place it on the parchment paper and pour your chocolate of choice over the top. Turn the banana to coat all sides.

Step 4: Decorate the banana with the desired sprinkles. Hold it for about a minute so the chocolate can set, then replace it in the freezer.

Step 5: Scrape extra chocolate off of the parchment paper and add it back to the respective bowl. Re-melt it in a microwave for 30 seconds if the chocolate becomes too thick to pour. Repeat the coating and decorating process with the remaining bananas.

After all the bananas have been covered in chocolate and decorated, keep them in the freezer for
45–60 minutes. Then out come the YUMMIES! Enjoy!
