Frozen Peanut Butter Banana Pops

Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 3
• 3 -6 bananas, peeled, cut into three sections
• 10 -20 candy sticks (popsicle sticks or sucker sticks will work)
• 2 cups peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon paraffin wax (parowax, a chunk about the size of a stick of gum for every 1 cup of peanut butter)
• 1 cup mini chocolate chip
• 1 cup mini m&m'
• 1 cup peanuts, chopped
• 1 cup colored sprinkles

Recipe

• 1 peel the bananas, cut into three sections, about 2 inches long.
• 2 poke the stick well into the banana.
• 3 place on a sheet and into the freezer for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.
• 4 melt the peanut butter and wax over boiling water. a small 1-cup pyrex measuring cup hung over the side of the pot of water works well, it's narrow enough to have the peanut butter deep enough for dipping.
• 5 remove your bananas from the freezer, and have your toppings ready in individual plates or bowls. one at a time, dip your banana into the peanut butter and turn it to coat. lift it out and allow excess to drip and the coating to harden just a little.
• 6 roll it in your topping of choice and lay on a sheet lined with waxed paper.
• 7 once all are dipped and coated, you can place them back in the freezer until ready to serve. remove from freezer 5 to 10 minutes before, just so they are soft enough to eat.
