Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bananas
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 0.5 cup crushed nuts (e.g., peanuts, almonds, or pecans)
- 0.5 cup crushed graham crackers
- 0.25 cup rainbow sprinkles
- 8 pieces popsicle sticks
- 1 sheet parchment paper
Instructions
Peel the bananas and cut each one in half crosswise.
Insert a popsicle stick into the cut end of each banana half. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 1 hour or until firm.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between intervals, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Prepare topping stations by placing the crushed nuts, crushed graham crackers, and rainbow sprinkles in separate shallow bowls.
Remove the frozen bananas from the freezer. Working one at a time, dip a banana half into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to ensure it's fully coated.
Roll the chocolate-coated banana in one of the prepared toppings or sprinkle the toppings over the chocolate while it is still wet. Repeat with each banana piece, alternating toppings as desired.
Place the coated bananas back on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Once all are finished, return the baking sheet to the freezer for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set.
Serve the Crunchy Banana Pops straight from the freezer and enjoy!
