Happy Wednesday! It’s been a very hot week walking around journalism camp in Chapel Hill, and I’ve been hankering for something cool on which to munch.

There’s a popsicle shop here, but I’m wishing for something a little less sugary.

Lately I’ve been binging Arrested Development. I just love that show! So much hilarity.

I just watched the episode with the money in the banana stand, and now I’ve been craving chocolate covered frozen bananas.

So I decided to try my hand at turning my freezer into my own personal banana stand. I’ll let the piggy bank be the piggy bank, though.

These Chocolate-Dipped Frozen Bananas are absolutely the ticket! They’re such a healthy treat and, boy, are they easy to make.

What you’re going to do is peel some bananas and halve them. Then stick them on a wooden stick. I like these wooden sticks the best.

Then you’ll dip them in melted chocolate, cover with your favorite toppings, plop them on a lined baking sheet * and freeze!

Let them sit in the cold air a few hours and you’ve got yourself a frozen treat that’s both fun and healthy. Make them with kids or make them for yourself!

The best toppings for Chocolate-Dipped Frozen Bananas

Have so much fun with this! You can really top them with anything you want.

  • Chopped peanuts
  • Chopped pistachios
  • Chopped almonds
  • Cocoa nibs
  • Sea salt
  • Sprinkles
  • Melted white chocolate drizzle
  • Melted peanut butter chips drizzle
  • Coconut flakes
  • Mini chocolate chips
  • Oreo crumbs
  • Graham cracker crumbs
  • Nilla wafer crumbs

My favorite is anything with peanut butter, which you would know from my Peanut Butter Banana Bacon Elvis Smoothie or this Peanut Butter Brownie Ice Cream.

I also think a banana pudding version would be fab — just top the chocolate with vanilla wafer crumbs! Or save your hankering and make this Banana Pudding Ice Cream Cake instead.

Whatever toppings you choose, keep a few in your freezer and enjoy them whenever you need a frozen pick-me-up this summer. You’ll love them! // susannah
