Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe but firm bananas
- 8 wooden craft sticks
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped lightly salted peanuts
- 6 ounces good quality dark chocolate (60 to 70 percent cocoa solids), chopped
Instructions
- Peel, then cut each banana in half crosswise and insert a craft stick into each half. Place on a tray, cover with plastic wrap and place in the freezer until frozen, about 3 hours.
- Place the peanuts in a shallow dish or on a plate. Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over slightly simmering water, over the lowest possible heat, stirring frequently. Make sure the water is not touching the bottom of the top pan. Pour the melted chocolate into a tall glass. Dip each frozen banana into the chocolate, turning it to coat, and immediately roll in the peanuts. Place on a tray covered in waxed paper. Serve immediately or wrap individually in plastic wrap or waxed paper and freeze for up to 2 weeks.

tried to watch video and it wont work, goes onto endless adds
Can I use milk chocolate?
It is very delicious I make it every week
make sure coco is really melted otherwise it clumps and does not stick on banana. Dont melt the choclate with microwave. Use the stove if you want the to turnout.
I remember eating frozen banana back in the 1950’s. You can buy them but they taste better homemade
very tasty!
These are great snacks to have on hand. Instead of reaching for an ice cream bar, I now grab one of these easy, fun to make frozen bananas. The “nut topping” found in the ice cream or nut section makes making these even easier. It’s also a fun entertaining idea to have pre-frozen bananas and set up a dipping selection.
They sell these everywhere. I made them and they were better than the ones being sold.
I’m not so sure i would like the banana’s so much and with the chocolate on them i don’t know i might like them I won’t Know Until I Try Them !!!
Very good but not new. I had them at Disneyland in 64.
