Banana Choc Pops
INGREDIENTS
Makes 6
6 medium bananas
200g dark chocolate, melted (see tip)
100g crushed peanuts
1/3 cup desiccated coconut
You will need 6 paddle pop sticks
METHOD
Line a baking tray with baking paper and make sure there is some space in the freezer
Peel the bananas and chop 1.5 - 2 cm off the ends, this makes it easier to thread the paddle pop stick through
Carefully thread 1 paddle pop stick through the centre of each banana, place on baking tray and place in the freezer until needed
Prepare an assembly line of a bowl of melted chocolate, a bowl of crushed peanuts and a bowl of desiccate coconut
Take the banana pops out of the freezer, take one, dip it in the chocolate 3/4 covered then into the nuts or desiccated coconut and place back on the tray, repeat with the remaining bananas, rotating between crushed nuts and desiccated coconut
Freeze for 3 hours or overnight
Tip - you may need to re-melt the chocolate, if it becomes too thick, it may break the banana
Keep in an airtight container in the freezer for 2 months
