Everyone (or almost everyone I know) has a certain food they loved as a child. For me, memories were made every time we visited Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago to watch the polar bears swim, visit the seals, watch the peacocks strut their stuff, and then... Eat a frozen chocolate covered banana popsicle! Those things were THE BEST. At least they were for me! I was really craving one the other day for some reason, and decided to take the yummy banana pop a step further. How? STUFF IT! With what? NUTELLA! You're welcome. :)
3 bananas, cut in half
1 jar of Nutella
Baker's Dark Semi-Sweet Dipping Chocolate or Milk Chocolate, melted after bananas are frozen
Popsicle sticks
Straw
The directions are fairly simple!
Poke holes in the middle of each banana, making a tunnel (Plus, my little guy LOVED eating the banana "noodles!"
Stuff with Nutella. Now, I know not everyone has a tip like this one, but you should be able to snip the corner off a sandwich bag and try the same, though it might prove to be slightly more messy.
Put in your popsicle sticks. (Use anything bigger, and your banana will split and Nutella will gush out everywhere)
Freeze for at least 4 hours or until bananas have hardened. Dip the frozen banana into your melted dipping chocolate, letting the excess drip off, place on parchment paper and return to freezer for a few minutes to let the chocolate harden.
Now EAT!
The result is a wonderfully frozen, yet creamy Nutella center with the crunch of chocolate and obviously, the wonderful sweetness of bananas. I hope you enjoy!
