Frozen Chocolate Covered Bananas

I’ve always been a fan of anything chocolate, including anything dipped in it! So I knew that I couldn’t go wrong with frozen chocolate covered bananas for a delicious treat!

This cold treat is so easy to make and only needs a few ingredients. It’s a much healthier treat than ice cream as well and a great alternative for anyone whose diet is dairy-free. You can also use dark chocolate for dipping or dairy free chocolate chips.

What if I don’t have popsicle sticks?

If you don’t have popsicle sticks on hand, you can also make banana slices.  I like popsicle style because it requires less work than having to cut and dip each slice, but making chocolate covered banana bites works just as well!

How ripe should the bananas be?

You want the bananas to hold their shape so you don’t want them to be too ripe. Usually the more ripe the bananas are, the sweeter they are but its not really an issue with this treat since they will be covered in peanut butter and chocolate anyway.

Chocolate Covered Bananas for Parties

I also love that this frozen banana treat can be customized and jazzed up with something as simple as colored sprinkles, making these frozen chocolate covered bananas a wonderful dessert option to serve to guests.  Other topping ideas include shredded coconut, chopped nuts (if you a major nut fan since the bananas are already dipped in peanut butter) and white chocolate shavings.

Enjoy these frozen chocolate banana pops!
