I love sharing dinners and desserts with you, but I also like sharing silly, fun recipes like Bird’s Nest Cupcakes, Bacon, Egg and Toast Cups, and these frozen banana pops! I know if these were spread out at a summer party, they would be the first thing I grab! Er, especially since I’m problematic with sprinkles.

What? They make everything taste like a rainbow.

Swirled in melted dark chocolate that hardens in the fridge, these little frozen banana bites are quick, easy and ready to be ravaged with all kinds of toppings! For mine, I chose coconut flakes, chopped nuts and sprinkles, but coat yours with whatever you like! Try ‘em with your favorite crunchy cereal, mini chocolate chips or candy coated sunflower seeds. You can even use yogurt as the base instead of chocolate!

All you need to do is grab a handful of bananas or other dense fruit, chop them up bite-sized and freeze them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Once they’re firm, send your chocolate for a spin in the microwave and stir until it’s silky smooth. If your chocolate isn’t getting the right consistency, add in a little butter or shortening.

Bathe your banana bites in the warm chocolate, shake off the excess, and coat those little cuties ‘til your heart’s content in any kind of tasty toppings! They’re like a party in your mouth, I tell ya. And bonus: They’re not going to send your kid into a bouncing-off-the-ceiling sugar coma. Unless the kid eats ‘em all. Yikes.

Frozen Chocolate Banana Pops

Yield: Makes about 18 pops

Ingredients:

Toothpicks

3 firm-ripe bananas, cut into 2 inch pieces

6 ounces (1 cup) semisweet chocolate chips

1 Tablespoon sprinkles, coconut, nuts, or any desired topping

Directions:

Insert a toothpick into each banana piece. Arrange bananas, toothpick side up, on a parchment lined baking sheet. Freeze until firm, about 2 hours.

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, heat chocolate chips in 10 second increments, stirring between each until melted and smooth. Working quickly, dip each banana piece in chocolate, shake off excess, and cover with desired topping. Chocolate should set quickly, but if necessary, freeze or refrigerate pops to harden coating before serving.

Store in the refrigerator up to 1 day.

Enjoy!

  9. I LOVE this idea! Especially since you can smother them in sprinkles. You’re right…everything tastes better with sprinkles.

  10. I haven’t had a frozen chocolate covered banana since I was a kid! This is such a great idea… the perfect summer treat!

  14. What a great idea! I will absolutely make these all through the summer. My daughter LOVES bananas but loves chocolate even more – these are going to be a huge hit!!

  29. The banana and chocolate combination make this a delicious treat and all your different adornments make them a truly fun snack.

  32. Thank goodness I have bananas at home! I don’t have cute sprinkles at home (this happens when you are not a baker!) but I have coconut flakes. Going to try it this evening with the kids. We have dessert after dinner~~~!

  34. Sprinkles make me HAPPY! And I’m a firm believer that anyhting on a stick just tastes better! Cake pops, corndogs, and bananas! These would be the first thing I’d grab at a picnic table bbq too, Georgia! :)

    Happy Memorial weekend! :)

  35. I remember chocolate covered bananas used to be all around at festivals, now you rarely see them. However, now that I see this I am inspired to make these at home! I cannot think of anytime that would be a bad time to serve these-always a welcome treat yum!

  37. We love frozen bananas at our house, and what a wonderful presentation you’ve made with the appetizer sized bites and sprinkles–LOVE! Your photos are always stunning, by the way. Are you still using your Canon XS? I’m looking to upgrade to a {very} user-friendly DSLR and you always have such great pictures!!

  44. These look gorgeous – forget ice cream (for a little while) because these are so much healthier – love it my friend :D

  48. omg, if i was at some party and this was served…i would eat so many! :D & i love fun recipes, so please keep sharing!

  53. I’m just drooling over your pictures! Amazing. And the recipe looks spectacular! “You could even use a yogurt base instead of chocolate”? Now you stop that nonsense, right now! Chocolate is always the optimum choice ;)

  54. Eeek! SO cute, Georgia! I’m loving the banana pop studded with rainbow nonpareils, my FAVORITE sprinkle of all time. The coconut one looks awesome, too!! So easy and fresh for summertime.

  63. I’m pretty sure I hear angel’s singing. These are genius! And delicious. And gorgeous. You’re all kinds of ‘us’ over here :)

  65. this looks delicious, i saw this on Ellie Krieger, it’s such a healthy and yummy dessert… maybe i’ll make this tonight for dessert, it totally curbs my sweet tooth, better than eating cupcakes a couple times a week. :-0

  67. OMG Georgia!! These banana pops are too freaking cute. :) What a cute idea and luv the presentation. The possibilities of a coating outside the chocolate is endless!

    Have a safe and happy holiday weekend!

  78. I love this idea! They’re so cute and I’m sure people would be super impressed by them. If I didn’t have this terrible banana allergy I imagine I’d be off to the kitchen now to make these. I know you said you can use other fruit, but I can’t think of any that would work as well as banana. Oh well. I love this post. :)

  84. F*ckin’ remarkable issues here. I’m very glad to look your post. Thanks a lot and i am having a look ahead to touch you. Will you kindly drop me a mail?
