Choco-Smothered Banana Pops -- Another Cool Idea

Chocolatey and healthy

I have some leftover bananas that will turn overly brown in a day or two so I tossed one in the freezer after peeling.  I got some dark chocolate (Goya from 7-Eleven) bars on the way home and made some healthful popsicles from the banana.

Nothing fancy here.  Cut the banana in half.  Get a stick (I use spare bamboo chopsticks from the neighborhood Chinese restaurant) and insert in the banana pieces like a popsicle.  Freeze.  Melt the dark chocolate bars in a double boiler or microwave (I use a medium setting for around two minutes).  Dip the banana pops in the chocolate.  Add pitted nuts if you so prefer (or use a Snickers bar instead for the chocolate coating).  Refreeze.

Any which way you look at it, this is a healthful treat -- you get potassium from the banana, flavonoids from the dark choco, and extra protein if you add nuts.  And it doesn't cost much to make.  Worth a try.
