Chocolate Banana Pops
From the Kitchen of Cheryl Qualls
Ingredients
- 4 popsicle stix
- 2 firm ripe bananas, peeled and halved
- 2 Tablespoons finely chopped nuts (peanuts, macadamias, or walnuts)
- 2 Tablespoons toasted wheat germ
- 6 Tablespoons semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon canola oil
Directions
- Line a plate with wax paper or foil. Insert a popsicle stick lengthwise into each banana half, place on the plate, and freeze until firm, at least one hour.
- Combine the nuts and wheat germ in a small shallow bowl.
- Place the chocolate and oil in a small, shallow microwaveable bowl; microwave on medium stirring every 20 seconds, until the chocolate is melted and smooth, about 1 minute.
- Dip each banana half into the chocolate, swirling to cover it completely, then quickly roll it in the nut mixture, pressing the nuts into the chocolate to help them adhere. Discard remaining chocolate or nuts. Place the pops on the plate and let stand a few minutes, until the chocolate firms up. (If not eating right away, wrap them in foil or plastic wrap and freeze up to a week.) 4 points.
