Recipe: Chocolate Covered Bananas

Saturday afternoon I decided to make frozen chocolate covered bananas.  They are such a yummy treat & are relatively health too!  I had recently brought a Concord Foods Banana Pops kit at the grocery store, but you could easily make them without the kit.

With kit- Ingredients: 4 medium size bananas 8 wooden popsicle sticks (included) 1 pouch chocolate (included) 
Instructions: -Peel bananas, & cut in half.  You will have 8 halves total. -Insert 1 stick into each banana half. -Put bananas into the freezer, & leave them in there for 1 hour. -After an hour has passed place sealed bag of chocolate into a bowl filled with very hot tap water, & leave for 4 minutes. -When contents are melted, shake bag well. -Cut the corner of the bag & pour the melted chocolate into a short cup. -Remove bananas from freezer, dip frozen bananas into chocolate until mostly covered. -Set bananas on a plate covered with parchment paper. -You can serve immediately or place in plastic bag & store in freezer.
Without kit- Ingredients: 4 medium size bananas 8 wooden popsicle sticks 3 chocolate bars
Instructions: -Peel bananas, & cut in half.  You will have 8 halves total. -Insert 1 stick into each banana half. -Put bananas into the freezer, & leave them in there for 1 hour. -After an hour has passed break up the chocolate bars & put in a short microwavable cup. -Microwave chocolate in 30 second intervals, taking out to mix after each interval.  Chocolate is very sensitive watch carefully so you don't burn it. -Remove bananas from freezer, dip frozen bananas into chocolate until mostly covered. -Set bananas on a plate covered with parchment paper. -Place plate in freezer & allow chocolate to set. -Once they set if you are not using all at once, place in plastic bag & store in freezer.

I had a lot of fun making these & you could do it with so many other fruits as well!  While the kit was great I think next time I am just going make them with Hershey's chocolate because Hershey's is my favorite.  Aside from a snack these would be great for parties & are a great treat for both kids & adults!
Have you ever done this?  What is your favorite chocolate covered fruit?
