Frozen Banana Pops

I subscibe to the Kitchen Crafts 'n More Newsletter (http://www.kitchencraftsnmore.net).
Today's newsletter had this great recipe for frozen Banana Pops in it that I just had to share with you.

Frozen Banana Pops

You'll Need:

• 3 bananas
• 6 wooden ice-cream sticks
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1 cup milk-chocolate pieces
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3/4 cup chopped peanuts (optional)
• 3/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)

Directions:

Cover baking sheet with waxed paper; set aside. slice peeled bananas in half crosswise and insert stick. Dip into orange juice. Place in freezer untill firm. Melt chocolate peices and vegetable oil in top of double boiler. Spoon melted chocolate evenly over bananas. Chocolate will harden fast, so work rapidly. Roll coated bananas in chopped peanuts or shredded coconut. Serve immediately or wrap in plastic wrap and freeze. Yield: Serves 6

You could of course vary the topings. My daughter would love them rolled in mini M and M's. Some chopped pecans would be really nice too. Be creative and pick some of your families favorite treats.

I'm off to get some of these in the freezer right now. This should make a wonderful afternoon snack.
