Sweet Snacking – Chocolate Covered Frozen Banana Bites

As a kiddo, I remember my favorite treat from the ice cream truck. Frozen chocolate covered bananas on a stick – plain, with peanuts or with jimmies (you might call them sprinkles – in PA we call them jimmies).

Unfortunately for me as a kid, the ice cream truck rarely visited my neighborhood. We lived on the outskirts of a suburban area and I guess the ice cream business wasn’t hopping in my neighborhood. My mom would occasionally buy those grocery store chocolate covered banana kits & I would be one happy kid.

Flash forward to today. I live rural, in the middle of nowhere. The first time my kids saw an ice cream truck (that wasn’t at a fair type event) was at the beach. They still go crazy when they hear the ice cream truck at the beach. Me too, actually. Ice cream for them, boiled peanuts for me – gosh I love The Happie Truck ♥

These days I make Frozen Chocolate Banana Bites often for after school & summer treats.

Ingredients & Instructions

These delicious & adorable Chocolate Covered Banana Bites are quick & easy to make – the hardest part is waiting to eat them!

The finickiest part of making these is melting the chocolate. Really, it’s not hard at all – but if you’re not familiar with it then it might be a bit tricky.

The easiest way to melt chocolate (as in this recipe, when it doesn’t need to be tempered) : throw it in a bowl, microwave for 30 seconds and stir. Continue at 20-30 seconds intervals, stirring afterwards each time. The chocolate should be melted and ready to dip after just a few rounds of this.

I use two small forks to dip the banana and shake off the excess chocolate. From there I push a lollipop stick in the center, decorate the tops with M&M’s, jimmies or crushed peanuts (when using) and continue on until all bananas are finished.  

Into the freezer they go until you’re ready to eat them. Yup, that’s it. Pull them out of the freezer about 5 minutes before serving & eat immediately. Yum!

Ingredients
  

  • 3 bananas
  • 1 1/2 cup dark chocolate morsels or dark chopped chocolate
  • M&M's®, jimmies (sprinkles) or crushed peanuts optional
  • lollipop sticks
  • wax paper & cookie sheet

Instructions
 

  • Prep a cookie sheet with wax paper. Set aside.
  • Peel and slice bananas. I prefer the banana chunks to be about 1/2″ – 3/4″ thick. Set aside.
  • Melt chocolate in microwave by short bursts (30 seconds, stir, 20 seconds & stir, repeat until melted – a few rounds should do it) or via bain marie.
  • Using two forks, dip banana pieces in chocolate. Shake off excess and set on wax paper lined cookie sheet.
  • Insert lollipop stick in center of chocolate covered banana.
  • Place 3 M&M's® on top, around lollipop stick. Or roll in/sprinkle on jimmies or crushed peanuts. (Optional)
  • Freeze for a few hours before serving.
  • To serve, remove from freezer, let sit for about 5 minutes before eating. Must be eaten immediately. These pops would not travel well.
  • These banana pops can be stored in the freezer for weeks if covered. I've made these 2-3 days ahead of serving time and left them on the cookie sheet (uncovered, oops) and they were great. Enjoy 🙂

    These banana pops are too cute and would be fun to make. I like the idea of frozen banana pops and I don’t know one kid who would turn them down.

    I love frozen banana and chocolate pops. These are so cute, especially with the M&M’s and perfect for Easter. I don’t have little ones to make treats for this year since closing my daycare, but I know some adults who will love these just as much!
